Dead infants found in locker

THE DOOBIE BROTHERS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG — Police say the discovery of as many as four dead infants in a storage locker is “tragic beyond belief” but it was not yet clear Tuesday if the deaths were homicides.

Const. Eric Hofley said concerned employees at the storage locker company in northwest Winnipeg called police Monday afternoon. Once inside, he said, officers found what appeared to be the remains of the babies.

“It was the state of the remains that drew the attention of the employees,” Hofley told a news conference. “The remains were in a state such as it’s not obvious yet exactly whether we are dealing with four separate remains or three. That will be determined at autopsy.”

It’s not clear how the infants died, how old they were or even if they were full term, he said. But the victims appeared to be “very, very young” and could be newborns.

Autopsies were being conducted.

The discovery is being investigated by the child abuse unit and the homicide detectives are being kept apprised of the investigation, Hofley said.

Police were talking to a few people, but the remains don’t appear to be linked to any infants that have been reported missing, he added.

“It’s suspicious. Until autopsies have been completed, whether it is found that someone has deliberately caused the death of one or all of these infants, that remains to be seen. It’s just too early in the investigation to say exactly what’s transpired here.”

The U-Haul storage locker facility, which was cordoned off by police tape, was cleared Tuesday. Employees who were on the site declined to comment to reporters.

Razmin Mansoub, president of UHaul Company of Central Canada, said the remains were found by employees.

Pine Lake development nixed

BY PAUL COWLEY ADVOCATE STAFF Concerns about fire and police protection and infrastructure shortages scuttled a proposal to build 150 homes on Pine Lake.

Red Deer County council voted unanimously against bylaw changes necessary to clear the way for the Pelican Bay project at the south end of the

lake. About 40 people attended a public hearing at the council chambers on Tuesday afternoon.

It was the second time the developers have been stymied. A much larger 380-lot proposal was turned down by council in December 2012.

The prospect of building a neighbourhood that could draw hundreds of residents to the area once again proved the biggest concern of councillors.

“I do feel there’s an infrastructure

deficit at Pine Lake,” said Coun. Philip Massier, who also cited the county’s commitment to preserving agricultural land in voting against the development.

Safety and how quickly firefighters could get to the development was among Coun. Connie Huelsman’s biggest concerns along with sewer and water issues.

Call this week’s hot October weather what you like, but don’t call it climate change.

Across Alberta, the extended data base shows nine records were broken and eight others were within two degrees of breaking a record on Monday, said Bill McMurtry, Environment Canada meteorologist.

The warm fall weather is quite a common occurrence for Western Canada, he said.

Red Deer, which saw Monday as warm as many days this summer, reached a high of 22.4C. The record was 24.4 in 1940. Red Deer records go back to 1904.

At this time of year, Red Deer normal average daytime highs are 9C and lows are -3C.

Regina police search for car covered in Crime Stoppers program logos REGINA — A car thief in Regina doesn’t have much respect for the Crime Stoppers program.

Police say they are searching for a stolen Chrysler PT Cruiser covered in Crime Stoppers signs and logos.

The white vehicle also has a thin black and red stripe across the sides and a graphic of a person in a jail cell on its side and back windows.

The car, which was no longer being used by the program, has been missing for about a month.

Police say the person using the vehicle does not represent Crime Stoppers, a non-profit charity that works with police to fight crime.

Anyone who sees the car is asked to call Regina Police or Crime Stoppers.

Man who wielded imitation firearm gets conditional sentence KAMLOOPS, B.C. — A Kamloops, B.C., man whose actions caused police to lock down a neighbourhood and issue a public warning about the use of imitation firearms has been handed a three-month conditional sentence.

Raymond Volpatti will be under house arrest for the first two months of his sentence.

“There was real fear by your neighbour — and rightly so,” provincial court judge Stella Frame told Volpatti, who pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm contrary to an order.

He has a prior criminal record and was given a 10-year firearm ban in 2009.

REMAINS: Police tight-lipped “U-Haul team members made a disturbing discovery when taking inventory of a delinquent storage locker on Monday,” Mansoub said in an emailed statement. “They immediately contacted law enforcement who believed the locker contained human remains.

“U-Haul is deeply shocked and saddened by this discovery. Out of respect for the ongoing investigation, U-Haul cannot comment with any further details. We will continue to fully co-operate with authorities.”

Police are remaining tight-lipped for now because they don’t want to do anything to jeopardize an investigation that is not yet 24 hours old, Hofley said.

“This incident (is) tragic beyond belief and leaves many questions unanswered at this time. They’re unanswered for our investigators. Once we have those answers, I will be there to provide them to you. At this point, I have no further information.”

Even if the deaths were not a result of foul play, charges could still be laid, Hofley said.

“Obviously, you’re not allowed to store, to conceal human remains. That, in itself, would be a charge.

Until such time that the autopsies have determined what exactly was the cause of this, we won’t know what the full extent of the charges may or may not be.”

An update on the investigation was expected Wednesday.

PINE LAKE: Development moratorium needed?

Coun. Jean Bota commended the developers for their plan, which would have included cottage-style residences surrounded by natural areas, trails and amenities including a splash park, but could not approve it because of the shortage of infrastructure in the area.

“I have serious concerns with this,” said Bota, who agreed with one resident’s suggestion that a development moratorium on the lake may be needed.

Mayor Jim Wood said he was wrestling with his

LOTTERIES

TUESDAY Extra: 2947810 Pick 3: 175

decision because the county wants more residents.

The Municipal Development Plan suggests they should be directed towards hamlets, but the growth isn’t happening there.

There may be potential for more homes at the lake, he said. “I believe there’s some opportunity. I believe it’s important we don’t shut the door on future growth.”

However, he said he could not support the level of growth proposed.

Pelican Bay Properties Inc. president Ron Rinkel said the development group was disappointed with the decision.

“Bringing anything new to any area is always very difficult. It’s difficult for the residents, difficult for council and it’s difficult for the developer to balance all things for everybody,” he said.

“Obviously, we’re very disappointed with the decision and the way it was arrived at. We felt we were bringing something very special to the area, but we also respect that decision.”

Rinkel said given council’s concerns about infrastructure there are no plans to come back with a yet smaller project.

“What they’re suggesting is it can’t be supported yet.”

About a dozen people spoke both for and against the project. Residents opposed were concerned about environmental impacts on the lake, which already has had blue-green algae problems.

Don Nielsen told council that with nearly 2,300 homes, RV lots and day use areas around the lake already there is no room for more development.

“I would say the development at Pine Lake has reached maximum capacity with that number,” he said.

Nielsen said after the meeting residents were pleased with council’s decision and that environmental and boat traffic issues were recognized.

Those in favour, said it would bring new amenities to the area and a modest-sized environmentally sensitive development with the latest wastewater treatment systems. pcowley@reddeeradvocate.com

WEATHER: Warm air mass Sundre did set a record of 22.9C, breaking the 1992 record for Oct. 20 of 20.5C. Lacombe was warmer than many other places on Monday at 23.3C but was still a long way off from its record of 28.3C set in 1940.

Another community close to a record was Rocky Mountain House, which saw the mercury top out at 21.6C. The record was 22.2C in 1952. Coronation broke its 1974 record of 23.3C record, hitting 24.2C.

The records are based on Environment Canada’s extended data base. While some communities may show a record, in many cases the data base is shorter and may only go back about 10 years, said McMurtry.

“The issue is on the official Environment Canada website they have climate records for numerous locations across the province. However that does not include the extended data.

“Whenever a weather station was set up in a location, whatever the last weather station was set up there, they’ll use that as the data base for that location, which may only be 10 years of records.

“So there’s 10 years of records there and then they say well there’s a record in community X because it’s the warmest temperature that’s been measured since that new weather station’s been placed there.”

“So it’s quite confusing. We’ve been trying to work on it.” This involves eventually merging data bases and establishing criteria regarding the location of a weather station. For example, as it stands now, even if a new station is within just metres on an old one, the data base only goes back to when the new station was established.

When temperatures include those stations with a shorter data base, there were about 30 records set on Monday in Alberta.

But without these, there were still a lot of records set (nine), McMurtry said.

The warm weather is coming from a big upper ridge of high pressure situated over Western Canada. An air mass that would typically be over Nevada and Arizona was pushed northward.

“When you get those big deviations of warm air masses from the south moving northward, that’s when you get these very warm temperatures across a large area of Western Canada,” said McMurtry.

“Contrary to that type of scenario is when you get an upper trough coming down where you get cold air displaced from the Arctic southward into the Prairies ... it’s equally opportunistic this time of year to see that as well.”

“Unfortunately all good things come to an end eventually and we see today (Tuesday) temperatures won’t be as warm as what we saw yesterday. But we’re still above average.”

“When we get those big areas of high pressure move in we get records set over an extended area. ...Typically we see that in either late September or sometime in the month October, and sometimes we see it as late as early November.”

Red Deer will still see above normal temperatures for the next three days but Friday and the weekend it will cool off to more seasonal values, and by the start of the new work week temperatures will be a couple degrees below normal, McMurtry said. barr@reddeeradvocate.com

Sexy kid costumes anger B.C. mom

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA — Halloween costumes for preschool girls that depict police officers and firefighters in sexualized skin-tight uniforms have a Victoria mom fuming at thrift store Value Village.

Raina Delisle said she saw the shiny costumes with short skirts when she was shopping for her daughter, yet the same version for four-to-six-yearold boys looked like the real thing.

Delisle said that costume and others in the store send young girls the message that their bodies are more important than their brains and that they can be objectified.

BRIEFS

Two Red Deer residents arrested in Lacombe Two Red Deer residents are in custody after being arrested in Lacombe.

Sean David Porter, 32, and Natasha Verna Clark, 28, both face multiple charges after being arrested early Monday morning.

Lacombe Police Service responded to a report of a suspicious male and female in the area of Henners Road in Lacombe on Monday.

The suspicious pair were observed exiting a parked white Dodge Ram truck and attempting to enter parked vehicles and the front doors of several residences.

A man and a woman were arrested.

Porter faces chages of possession of stolen property over $5,000; possession of break-in tools; attempt to break in to a dwelling house; and two counts of possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.

Clark faces charges of possession of stolen property over $5,000; possession of break-in tools; attempt to break in to a dwelling house; two counts of possession of a weapon dangerous to the public; possession of a controlled substance; and six counts of breach of conditions.

Police dog puts bite on suspect after long standoff at Calgary restaurant CALGARY — A man has undergone treatment for dog bites and other injuries after a standoff with police at a Calgary restaurant that lasted more than eight hours.

Officers were called to the southeast business around 7:30 p.m. Monday after getting word about someone inside with a gun who had allegedly been making threats.

Police cordoned off the area and waited for the person to surrender.

After several hours, a man came out to check the perimeter and was taken down by the police canine unit.

He suffered minor injuries that also included glass cuts, but no one else in the restaurant was hurt.

There was extensive damage to the building’s interior and police say charges are pending.

“There was even a pumpkin costume with a laceup corset, and a very sexy Mini Mouse,” she said.

“Not only are they inappropriate for trick or treating, they’re inappropriate on so many levels.”

Delisle contacted the store’s customer care line at its headquarters in Bellevue, Wash., where the store goes by the name Savers, but got no response.

But when she wrote back in her capacity as a freelance journalist, Value Village responded with an apology and a promise to pull the costumes from shelves.

“We’ve taken the recent comments surrounding certain Halloween costumes sold in our stores very seriously and as such are removing this merchandise from our sales floors,” Value Village said in a statement.

“We apologize to those who were offended and as we move forward, we will evaluate all customers and packaging keeping this specific customer feedback in mind.”

Delisle said she’s pleased that Value Village has taken action and that the national chain has set a good example for other retailers. But she would like to know what will be done with the offensive costumes and if they’ll be sold next year.

“I would be very disappointed if they sold them again but I don’t think so because they’re getting such positive feedback.”

Target recently felt the heat of public opinion with its sale of children’s pyjamas — the girls’ version emblazoned with the words “I Only Date Heroes,” and the boys’ one reading “Future Man of Steel.”

Derek Puffer with the video of his interview with police after Bill Powers and his wife, Donna Lee, were killed.

The couple were found dead in their home in July 2013 — court heard they had been stabbed 25 times.

Puffer, Lee’s adopted son from her first marriage, was living with the couple.

Puffer has admitted to the killings, and the judge has to determine if the 40-year-old can be held criminally responsible for the deaths depending on his mental state at the time.

During the police interview, Puffer tells a homicide detective it was like he was “in a trance.”

“I just went in there after getting instructions and just stabbed them ... and I can remember them going, ’No.’ And I don’t know why I didn’t stop ...

“I don’t know even know why I’d do something like that ... I don’t know”.

Puffer said the instructions came from voices in his head.

“It is just so bizarre ... it was a lot of chanting,” he said.

At one point during the nearly four-hour interview, which included breaks and naps, Puffer starts singing.

He’s expected to take the stand in his own defence Wednesday.

The remains of 18-year-old Allen Neil Wilson from New Brunswick were discovered last month near Stony Plain.

RCMP say Garrett Micheal Oshvalda, who is 55, was arrested on Friday.

Police say Wilson and Oshvalda knew each other.

Oshvalda is to appear in Stony Plain provincial court on Wednesday.

Police say B.C. homicide victim had ties to Alberta gangs RICHMOND, B.C. — A 25-year-old man who was found dead in Richmond, B.C., has been tied by police to gang activity in Alberta.

The body of Theoren Poitras was found around 12:30 a.m. Oct. 2 in a local park in the city south of Vancouver.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says Poitras was known to police in Alberta for his involvement in gang activity and his death appears to have been targeted.

But police say the motive for the homicide remains a mystery and they are not yet releasing a cause.

Investigators are looking for anybody who was around Talmey Elementary School between 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 1 and 1:30 a.m. Oct. 2 and who observed suspicious persons or vehicles.

New Brunswick man seeks greater freedom after killing father WINNIPEG — A bipolar New Brunswick man found not criminally responsible for killing his father inside a western Manitoba motel has been deemed ready to return unsupervised into society.

The decision by a Manitoba review board came after Dana Craig appeared before the panel on Monday for a status hearing into his case.

A treatment team says Craig has been making excellent progress since coming to the psychiatric ward at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre shortly after the April 2013 slaying in Brandon.

The 27-year-old was found to be suffering from a major psychotic episode when he choked and stabbed his 63-year-old father, Terry Craig, during a trip home from Alberta where the younger man had gone to see friends in Edmonton.

A court ruled last October that he would fall under the care of the mental-health system and not go to prison.

Craig says he wants to permanently stay in Winnipeg because of his ongoing treatment and he’s asked for permission to move out of the hospital to a halfway house.

Terry Craig travelled west to pick up his son up because of ongoing mental-health concerns after he had stopped taking his medication. They had no connection to Manitoba and just happened to stop for the night.

The Crown is warning that the board’s decision could have dire consequences for public safety. They believe it’s much too early to deem him “cured” and say a relapse is likely if he’s given too much freedom so soon.

“This is a heartbreaking story,” prosecutor Susan Helenchilde told a provincial review board on Monday. “I think what we’re seeing here is a little bit of impression management.

He has successfully fooled mental-health professionals before.”

Unsupervised leaves in the city would allow him to attend drug and alcohol counselling for longstanding addiction issues that contributed to the murder.

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 22, 2014

Year of political change If our fixed election date holds, we’re a year from a trip to the federal polls.

It’s a good time to remember what changes a single year can bring.

Here are five storylines that can upend any federal prognostications over the next 12 months.

The economy

TIM HARPER

INSIGHT

If he was heading to the polls today, Stephen Harper would have a surplus estimated at $56 billion over the next five years burning a hole in his pocket.

Unemployment is at its lowest level in almost six years, inflation is manageable, Canadians look at the values of their homes and feel wealthy.

Harper has already announced an enhanced tax credit for parents with children in sports programs and a cut to employment insurance premiums.

He has also promised an adult fitness tax credit and will double the annual contribution limit for tax-free savings accounts.

He will campaign on the jobs flowing from trade deals, even if they are inflated estimates from a deal yet to be ratified. But a promised income-

splitting program doesn’t look like a winner because of its expense and the fact that the tiny minority of Canadians who would benefit already largely vote Conservative.

A burst real estate bubble could end the sense of economic comfort and turn the issue to household debt.

Plunging oil prices have blown a hole in many portfolios and may hamper the government’s ability to deliver on its economic vision.

The job numbers are illusory. Much of the growth is in part-time and selfemployed work and youth unemployment remains stubbornly high.

Downturns from China to Germany are out of Harper’s control but will have an impact here.

If the fundamentals of the economy remain strong, other issues can become white noise. But without that sense of economic security, a campaign can drive into a ditch in a hurry.

World events A year ago, neither Ebola nor the Islamic State was on our radar.

Ukraine was still a month away from street demonstrations protesting President Viktor Yanukovych’s embrace of Russia over the European Union, Vladimir Putin’s adventurism had not yet begun and there was a wobbly stability in the Middle East.

Foreign policy doesn’t win many domestic votes, but appearing statesmanlike on the world stage does, a card only Harper can play.

A year from now, we could be dealing with anything from upheaval in Hong Kong to a health epidemic which has spread to South Asia or to something no one can yet see.

Justin Trudeau’s uncertain journey After a honeymoon period that lasted longer than some marriages, gravity is pulling the Liberal leader back into political re-entry.

He has had 18 months to grow into his job but has so far ceded much of the policy field to Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair, has been the victim of too many self-imposed wounds and doesn’t look ready for prime time. Trudeau is being squeezed by the two more experienced leaders and reports that the Conservative attacks on the Liberal leader have backfired could prove premature the closer we get to voting day.

He is also going to face much tougher scrutiny from a more skeptical press gallery. Balanced babies and fawning profiles won’t put him over the top.

Can he get his tongue and brain in sync?

The (subtle) rebranding of Mulcair The opposition leader is still perceived (to the point he is perceived at all) as too much of an old-style Harper politician, but brings substance to the

race and the party strategy of rolling out policy a year before a vote could be a boon to NDP fortunes.

Mulcair has a year to find a sweet spot between a style-driven Trudeau and the stolid, vanilla and mean-spirited Harper style.

Trudeau is giving him room to grow.

Will Canadians give him a good, hard look?

A referendum on Harper If the opposition leaders can successfully make Harper the campaign issue, the dynamics will radically change.

Either could win by not being Harper, and either would look fresh and progressive when up against a man who, after a combative 10-year hold on power, asks for another four.

If a collective Canadian yearning for change takes hold, then tax breaks, a strong economy or good grades on the world stage won’t matter.

And that is without even considering other wild cards — the Mike Duffy trial, a major environmental mishap, a terror attack on this country, a setback in the allied effort against the Islamic State, an Ebola outbreak here, a promise by Harper to step aside if he is re-elected, coalition talk or more First Nations protests.

A year is a long time.

Oil prices blindsided by technology “The price of oil will hit its floor and it will rise again,” President Nicolas Maduro assured Venezuelans, whose shaky economy depends critically on a high oil price. “Venezuela will continue with its social plans. Venezuela will move forward.”

No it won’t, and neither will Russia, Iran, or Nigeria.

The only major oil exporters that are not in deep trouble are the Arab countries, whose governments have some room for manoeuvre because of low production costs, relatively small populations, and big foreign currency reserves.

Since June, the cost of a barrel of Brent crude, the benchmark for world oil prices, has fallen by almost GWYNNE a quarter, from around $110 DYER a barrel (where it was stuck for the past four years) to just above $80 a barrel. Last month, for the first time in decades, Nigeria exported no oil at all to the United States. Even at a big discount, Americans just don’t need it. And the main reason for all that is fracking.

American production has almost doubled in the past five years thanks to the new drilling technologies, and the United States overtook Russia last year to become the world’s largest producer of oil and gas

combined. (Saudi Arabia comes a distant third.) With production soaring and world demand for oil stalling due to slow economic growth, a collapse in prices was inevitable.

The question is how far they will collapse, and for how long.

The answer is probably not much further, for the moment — but they could easily stay down in the $75 to $85 range for a couple of years. The reason for that is that the “swing” producers (mostly Arab), who could theoretically push prices back up by cutting their own production, have clearly decided not to do so.

Their concern is for the long-term power of the OPEC cartel, which used to be strong enough to set the price of oil. That never will be true again unless they can drive the (mainly American) frackers who are causing the oversupply of oil out of business.

Saudi Arabia and its allies are hoping that a prolonged period when the price of a barrel of oil is lower than the cost of getting that barrel out of the ground by fracking will ruin this new industry and bring back the Good Old Days.

Dream on.

The Saudi strategy won’t work because some 98 per cent of U.S. crude oil and condensates has a break-even price of below $80 per barrel. Indeed, 82 per cent of American production would still be turning a profit at $60 per barrel.

Even with its massive foreign currency reserves, Saudi Arabia probably cannot afford to keep the

oil price low enough for long enough to break the American frackers. (Its own break-even price for conventional oil is $93 per barrel.) And the Iranians, Nigerians, Venezuelans and Russians, who depend on oil revenues for at least half of their national budgets, will be screaming for higher prices before they face riots in the streets.

So this is not a transient event; it’s a revolution.

The Organization of Petroleum-Exporting Countries (OPEC) came into its own when the United States ceased to be the dominant global producer in the early 1970s. With the re-emergence of the United States as the biggest producer, OPEC’s clout is bound to shrink — so oil prices will probably stay well below $100 a barrel for the foreseeable future.

Of course, a broader view of our situation would find little reason for rejoicing in all this. Our global civilization depends on fossil fuels for 85 per cent of its energy, and our annual emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are still rising.

Just another 25 years of that will deliver us to the “point of no return”: 450 parts per million of CO2 equivalent in the atmosphere. That would raise the average global temperature by two degrees C, and trigger natural sources of warming that it will be impossible for us to turn off again. Runaway warming is not a happy prospect, so it is unseemly to celebrate the news that we have even more oil to burn — and cheaper oil, at that.

B.C. sets 3.5% income tax on LNG

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS

www.parklandgarden.ca

Photo by THE CANADIAN PRESS

From left to right, FortisBC president and CEO Michael Mulcahy, Fortis Inc. president Barry Perry, British Columbia Premier Christy Clark and Fortis Inc. executive vice-president of western Canadian operations John Walker, participate in a groundbreaking ceremony for FortisBC’s Tilbury LNG facility expansion project in Delta, B.C., on Tuesday. According to the company, the $400-million expansion south of Vancouver will add 1.1 million gigajoules of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to storage and 34,000 gigajoules per day of liquefaction capacity. The existing LNG facility on the site opened in 1971.

The tax also includes a corporate income-tax credit available to LNG companies that establish permanent bases in B.C. The credit, an attempt to attract new corporate income-tax revenue to B.C., could drop to eight per cent from 11 per cent for LNG companies, de Jong said.

The LNG Alliance, which represents seven major proponents, including Shell, Chevron, British Gas and Petronas, said the reduced income tax is a compromise that was necessary in a declining market.

Alliance spokesman David Keane said the 3.5 per cent tax provides investors with certainty and may drive final decisions, but he could not speak for individual companies.

$5,000 A Month And They Don’t Brush Her Teeth?

Dear Dr. D: I just returned from a family trip stateside, and visited an ailing aunt. She is confined to a dementia facility in Colorado. From the outset – this is one beautiful seniors' home. They have immaculate grounds, nicely tailored uniforms on all the staff, and luxurious furnishings. What was shocking, however, was the condition of my aunt's mouth. She had food caked in her dental work which clearly had been there for some time. According to their contract, someone is supposed to 'brush' her teeth regularly. From the looks of it she had been ignored for weeks. How can this possibly happen?

the tip of the iceberg. I know of homes where the monthly bill to house a senior relative can easily top $12,000 per month. At one in Vancouver, it starts at $5500 but they 'a la carte' you to death. An elderly gentleman was lonely and a bit of a flirt. He was continually asking the staff to do something 'extra' for him – from requesting a pillow to a back rub etc.

Really, he was bored and just passing time in what he thought was a friendly way. His son got a monthly bill that would pay for a brand new car. Literally, he had to pull him out of there. Fortunately, they were able to convert a basement to accommodate him and they hired a part time care giver to come in and keep him company. The oral issue is not unusual, particularly for dementia patients who cannot speak up for themselves. Even though the fees to care for them are what any of us would regard as high – the dental care can certainly be lacking. These poor patients don't have the verbal skills to complain about it, so it is often left to a family member to police the situation. A colleague actually founded a 'dental hygiene' program on a subscription basis for shut-ins.

They visited weekly – did a thorough teeth and denture scrubbing – and took 'before and after' photos to prove their point. Using a dental coating product, they proved over the course of a year that even if patients have had 'hit and miss' dental care he was able to regain their periodontal health in spite of what were clearly challenging circumstances. The Baby Boomer Generation is dealing with aging parents right now, so this is relevant. What is frightening is that it is foreshadowing for what will face many of us not far down the road ourselves. We all need 'family advocates' in health care today. Your entire body is downstream from your mouth, and if people pay more attention to that it will greatly assist their overall health not generally regarded as dental related. I hope your aunt has someone close by to watch over her.

production, and the second tier would rise to seven per cent once plants were running and capital costs were deducted. But he also indicated seven per cent was at the top of the tax range.

De Jong said one mid-sized LNG plant will pay about $800 million in taxes annually under the new rules, an amount equivalent to the taxes B.C.’s entire forest industry pays in one year.

He said one plant, producing 12-million tonnes of LNG annually, will pay taxes of $8 to $9 billion over 10 years.

Environment Minister Mary Polak introduced emissions-control legislation Monday that forces LNG companies to meet benchmarks that she says are the most stringent in the world.

if we are going to achieve success and achieve a viable industry in B.C. then we have to work together, which means we both have to move,” he said.

Opposition New Democrat natural gas development critic Bruce Ralston said the Liberals have backed down considerably on their original tax plans. He said it could take a lifetime to pay down the debt on de Jong’s revised schedule.

“They backed down dramatically and we’ll see whether they backed down enough to suit the companies that are pressing them,” he said.

Last February, de Jong said the preliminary version of the LNG income tax would be 1.5 per cent at the start of

VICTORIA — The British Columbia government climbed down from its proposed goal of a seven per cent income tax on liquefied natural gas, earning praise from the industry, but forcing the finance minister to admit an election promise to eliminate the debt will be up to 15 years behind schedule.

Mike De Jong said Tuesday the Liquefied Natural Gas Income Tax Act reflects the plan he announced in February’s budget, but LNG prices are declining and increasing construction costs prompted the government to reduce the preliminary tax rate to 3.5 per cent.

The minister said the lower tax rate is more attractive to potential investors.

“The market has changed,” said de Jong.

He suggested a massive LNG purchase agreement by China for Russian natural gas also influenced the tax structure. B.C. believes its major LNG customer will be China.

“Here we are in October with a comprehensive legislative package that will ensure everyone, the public, the shareholders of British Columbia, and the proponents themselves know what the rules of the game are going to be with respect to the LNG income tax,” de Jong said.

B.C.’s Liberal government has pinned much of its economic future on developing a home-grown LNG industry.

Premier Christy Clark has said LNG is a generational opportunity that could create 100,000 jobs and represents a trillion-dollar economic opportunity.

De Jong said there are currently 18 potential LNG projects in the works in B.C. But he was forced to defend the potential returns of the tax structure, especially since the Liberals were reelected in May 2013 on promises to eliminate the debt with money earned primarily with LNG tax dollars placed in a Prosperity Fund.

Government documents announcing the income tax made no mention of the Prosperity Fund.

“We set some targets,” he said.

“Might it take longer, sure, the market’s changing, but it’s still very much in my mind an achievable goal. If it takes an extra 10 or 15 years to pay down to the extent we’d like, or eliminate our debt, I’ll take that. That’s, in my view, worth pursuing.”

The new tax starts in 2017 at a rate of 1.5 per cent and rises to 3.5 per cent, with another increase to five per cent in 2037, once the industry plants roots in the province, he said.

All-weather tires lauded

BY HARLEY RICHARDS ADVOCATE BUSINESS EDITOR When it comes to tires, “all-season” doesn’t necessarily include winter.

That’s the message Bill Gardiner is driving home during a national tour promoting the advantages of all-weather tires. The resident mechanic on TSN’s long-running TV program Motoring says all-season tires can come up short when the temperature dips below 7C. “The all-season is fine for spring-summer-fall,” said Gardiner, who was in Red Deer on Tuesday.

“It gives you good performance, but it doesn’t give you good performance in the winter time. Anytime the average ambient drops to about 7C, the grip of the all-season tire is greatly diminished.

“Also the all-season tire doesn’t get slush and snow out of the contact patch as well as a winter or an all-weather tire.”

That can mean reduced performance, including longer stopping distances, when the weather gets cold.

Kal Tire recruited Gardiner to raise public awareness about the importance of choosing the right tires for winter use, with the celebrity mechanic speaking to journalists at 11 centres between British Columbia and Ontario. The Canadian tire company mounted another all-weather tire campaign last fall, but felt the message would resonate better coming from Gardiner, said Tracy Cobb, Kal Tire’s director of communications.

Gardiner, who owns a vehicle repair business in Southern Ontario, said he’s been recommending allweather tires to many of his customers since 2008.

“I was sold long before this.”

There’s still a place for traditional winter tires on many drivers’ vehicles, he acknowledged. Motorists who do a lot of extreme winter driving — such as those who frequent the mountains or spend a great deal of time on poorly maintained roads — might be better off alternating between winter tires and allseason tires.

But many lack the storage space for two sets of tires, or drive infrequently during the winter months, said Cobb.

Switching between winter and all-season tires can

Bill Gardiner of TSN’s Motoring TV program points out the differences between an all-weather tire, left, and an all-season tire, during a visit to Red Deer on Tuesday. also be costly, said Gardiner, pointing to the expense of buying a second set of rims or paying to have two sets of tires transferred on one set of rims. It can also mean paying for a second set of tire pressure monitoring sensors.

Another drawback of winter tires is that they’re not designed for use in ambient temperatures above 7C, and can wear quickly in warm conditions.

“With the all-weather, the tread compound is optimized for good performance above and below 7C,”

said Gardiner.

The quality of all-weather tires has improved since they first arrived in Canada in 2000, said Gardiner, with their rolling resistance now comparable to that of all-season tires.

“It’s not the one and only answer for everybody, but it’s a great answer for anybody who was previously buying all-season tires.” hrichards@reddeeradvocate.com

Auto groups recognized for building import demand

WENDY’S CONSTRUCTION

BY ADVOCATE STAFF A pair of Red Deer auto groups have been recognized by an industry magazine for their success in building local demand for import vehicles.

The Gary Moe Auto Group and the Scottsville Group are featured on the front of the October issue of Canadian AutoWorld, an independent publication geared to members of the automotive industry. The story describes how import vehicles have made recent inroads in rural Alberta, with the Gary Moe and Scottsville groups cited as examples of that success.

The Gary Moe group includes Red Deer’s Mazda, Hyundai and Volkswagen dealerships, while Scottsville consists of Nissan, Subaru and until recently Kia, as well as Buick GMC Cadillac.

Dean Moe of the Gary Moe group and Garrett Scott of Scottsville describe how online marketing has enabled their dealerships to reach customers in the surrounding region. They also note how the city’s growing population includes many younger residents and people from other parts of the country, with members of both groups typically open to driving import vehicles.

The appeal of fuel efficiency is also luring people away from pickup trucks, says Moe, and the new import models are attracting interest as well.

Finally, the article points out that the strength of the Alberta economy is fueling the province’s entire auto sector.

Although a Toyota store was established in Red Deer 44 years ago, the city’s other import dealers arrived much later. Scott said demand for imports in Central Alberta really took off around 2006.

Work on the new Wendy’s restaurant in north Red Deer is progressing quickly, with contractor FW Builders busy working on both the exterior and interior of the 6771 Gaetz Ave. building. It will give Wendy’s, which has operated at the site since 1979, the company’s latest design features.

Once completed, the fast-food restaurant will have seating for nearly 100 as well as drive-through service.

Agriculture Hall of Fame inductees made lasting impressions It may not be as high profile as Alberta’s Sports Hall of Fame on the highway near Red Deer, but our province does have an Agriculture Hall of Fame.

Like all such hallowed halls, it’s filled with individuals who have made lasting contributions “in the field” — and that’s literally for this one!

Alberta’s Agriculture Hall of Fame was expanded by three earlier this month.

Once again, I had the privilege to work with legendary Call of the Land former host Jack Howell to share the biographies of the inductees at their awards dinner. It’s always an inspiring evening, DIANNE and a chance to glimpse FINSTAD the variety and depth of the farming and food business in our province.

Joining the Hall’s esteemed ranks is Gordon Hilton of Strathmore, a true conservationist.

Hilton was definitely counter-cultural when he

began advocating for no-till farming in the 1960s, back when summerfallow ruled. He was one of the first farmers in Alberta to see continuous cropping as a way of preventing soil and wind erosion, and began experimenting with seed drill modifications in the 1970s to further his efforts. In 1980, he brought one of the first no-till drills to Western Canada.

Farmers of the day took great pride in their clean, black summerfallow fields, and Hilton was often dismissed for his radical approach. But you couldn’t argue with his enthusiasm, as he took his road show promoting conservation farming across western Canada. He helped found the Alberta Conservation Tillage Society, and pushed for policy changes in government thinking on the traditional practices.

When you look around the countryside today, and see how direct seeding and minimum tillage have become industry standards in Western Canada, you can see the impact Hilton had, showing things didn’t always have to be done as they were before.

Also inducted this year was Dr. Mohyuddin Mirza, a visionary scientist whose practical research has helped Alberta establish a thriving greenhouse industry. Over more than three decades of dedication, his work at Alberta Agriculture helped develop hydroponics as an economic and stable way to grow greenhouse crops. In fact, the industry has blos-

somed from a $25-million-a-year business in 1980 to over $160 million annually today.

His work also led to new opportunities for growing forestry seedlings in the province, and he helped set up the Alberta Greenhouse Growers Association.

But if you ask folks like the Doef family with their greenhouse operation near Lacombe, they’ll tell you Dr. Mirza is best known as a friend to growers, always accessible, always teaching, always helping.

In the dairy world across Canada, there’s one name almost everyone recognizes. And now Curtis Clark has earned a place among agriculture’s leaders as a member of the Hall of Fame.

Clark is described as a passionate and tireless promoter of the dairy industry for nearly five decades. The co-founder of the famous Acme Holsteins herd was renowned for his livestock management and his judging abilities.

While he’s most known for Holsteins, Clark actually started his long show ring career at the halter of purebred Percheron heavy horses.

That’s where he ran across Lloyd Pickard, and the Acme Holsteins operation at Carstairs was created by the two partners.

There is no supervisor gene Work in any business environment requires the co-ordination of effort.

This is crucial to any organization’s success.

There are numerous roles and processes that enhance productivity and positive results. Two of the critical positions are the roles of a manager and a supervisor.

I often work with business JOHN owners to deMACKENZIE velop or update the “org chart” BUSINESS that illustrates BASICS the reporting structure within the company.

Job descriptions identify key roles and responsibilities. While drafting these documents, the subject of a supervisor’s role always comes up.

Manager and supervisor are often used interchangeably. In many cases, a manager supervises a team and a supervisor works at the strategic plan-

ning level. However, the roles entail two distinct activities that require very different skill sets.

A manager’s fundamental role is at the strategic level, to plan and control the utilization of resources. A supervisory role usually works at the tactical level, directing other people.

My opinion is that the direct supervisory role is the more challenging of the two.

A supervisor often comes up through the ranks. The new role requires a major mind shift and a particular skill set. It’s rare this comes naturally, and no supervisor gene is inherited along with the role.

A supervisor position is often viewed as a “status reward” by both the employer and the employee. Expectations are that they know and have worked beside the team and therefore know the various jobs well. However, this means they now supervise peers or even friends.

It’s an important job and one that many are not usually trained for. More often than not, what I call “supervision by yelling” is the norm. This usually occurs out of frustration.

The primary role of a supervisor is to be a resource to the team in order to influence productivity and overall

performance. Three elements — giving specific instructions, monitoring periodically and making individuals accountable for the results — are the core of the supervisory process.

A supervisor is a leadership position, therefore it’s important to be able to set the example. They now represent the organization, not themselves nor their former co-workers and friends.

Management decisions can no longer be questioned in front of the team.

Everyone possesses an individual value system, which is a product of their background and experiences.

Awareness of one’s own communication style and the knowledge of other styles is a powerful tool that can help overcome many issues.

This requires the ability to deal effectively with individual personalities and different communication and working styles.

Great supervisors recognize these differences and attempt to acknowledge individual styles.

One of the most difficult things to do in a supervisory role is to be a consistent motivating force. It’s important to establish trust within the group, then act in a coaching role only when needed. This creates a working environment where everyone feels like they

are a part of the team.

A competent supervisor influences the overall performance of the individuals and, consequently, the entire workflow process.

Clear, specific instructions state exactly what needs to be done and identifies what results will look like so that the team can self-monitor and be accountable for results.

The supervisor periodically monitors situations and makes adjustments when necessary.

Whether regular meetings, or brief standing huddles, setting time aside for every team member is important.

These are prime opportunities to discuss issues or ideas, listen to opinions and provide constructive feedback.

In summary, if someone is promoted to a supervisor level (team leads or foremen) it should be obvious that training is critical to a successful transition. Ignoring the situation only creates an environment in which friction, increased costs and staff turnover are a reality.

Energy East will hurt natural gas consumers: Brochu PIPELINE

MONTREAL — The head of Quebec’s largest natural gas distributor says TransCanada Corp.’s $12-billion, cross-country project to convert a natural gas pipeline to oil will hurt consumers, raise prices and reduce employment if implemented as proposed.

Gaz Metro (TSX:VNR) CEO Sophie Brochu said Tuesday that she is not mounting a political campaign against the project but demanded changes before an application is submitted in the coming days to the National Energy Board.

Brochu said 3.6 million natural gas customers in Quebec and Ontario will be affected, including large industrial customers who will be forced to pay higher energy costs in winter, unless the project ensures an adequate supply of natural gas at no higher cost.

She told the Montreal Board of Trade that TransCanada (TSX:TRP) should build a new oil pipeline section between North Bay, in northeastern Ontario, and Ottawa instead of converting the existing line and building a smaller capacity line for natural gas at an estimated cost of more than $1.5 billion.

Calling her solution “logical,” she said oil producers and not natural gas customers should pay for the changes

that will carry western oil to markets in the east.

“I don’t accept that we ask domestic consumers of natural gas to interfinance the exportations of petroleum,” she later told reporters.

Brochu estimated that the new oil pipeline section would cost producers just 50 cents a barrel, a fraction of the price of crude that is currently hovering around US$83.

Ontario’s Union Gas and Enbridge Gas Distribution have also raised similar concerns about the Energy East conversion.

Gaz Metro said the conversion of the 3,300-kilometre Energy East pipeline between Alberta and Quebec would reduce the supply of natural gas for customers during peak winter months and for economic development.

Energy East would be one of the biggest infrastructure projects in Canadian history, crossing six provinces and traversing 4,600 kilometres in total. Roughly two-thirds of it would make use of underused natural gas pipe that’s already in the ground, with new pipe being built through Quebec and New Brunswick. The idea is to connect oilsands crude to eastern refineries and to export some of the oil by tanker.

HALL: Overcome challenges It became one of the most travelled and recognized show herds in the country, which is quite something considering transportation then was done by train.

The championships piled up, and continued when the partnership changed to include Clark’s son Jim. But Curtis Clark was active far beyond the show ring, putting time in for countless industry and community groups.

He left a great legacy behind when he passed away in 1997 at the age of 86. His reputation and dedication are still recognized today, with several prestigious dairy awards named in his honor.

Agriculture Minister Verlyn Olson made the presentations in Edmonton, welcoming the new inductees into the esteemed company of the now 126

members of the Agriculture Hall of Fame.

He noted how they all were able to overcome challenges, and showcase an innovative spirit; as he thanked the trio, and their families, for what they’ve done to inspire in agriculture.

Speaking of the dairy show ring, volunteers and exhibitors will bring the Westerner Championship Dairy Showcase to town this week.

There’s a junior show — the Jersey Show — on Friday night, a Holstein sale Friday afternoon, and the Holstein show all day Saturday.

Dairy cattle have always been an important element of the agriculture program for Red Deer’s fair organization, and volunteers work hard to keep that tradition alive.

Another “field stop” for me over the past month was the Canadian Supreme.

Growing up on a ranch where horses were used regularly to work with cattle, it’s a favorite type of horse show for me because you get to see talented western horses that can read cattle as

Canadian Pacific Railway locomotives move cars at a railyard in Calgary. The CPR says it had $400 million of net income or $2.31 per diluted share in the third quarter.

CPR revenue up in Q3 CALGARY — Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX:CP) had $400 million of net income in the third quarter — up 23 per cent from last year on higher revenue and improved efficiency but short of the profit growth that analysts had been anticipating.

Its revenue for the three months ended Sept. 30 totalled $1.67 billion, also up from a year earlier but short of estimates, while the company’s operating ratio — a measure of efficiency — improved more than expected to a record low 62.8 per cent.

The quarter’s $2.31 earnings per share was below the estimate of $2.35 per share while revenue was short of the $1.69 billion of revenue general-

ly expected by analysts, according to Thomson Reuters data.

CP shares dropped $6.15 or 2.77 per cent to $215.50 in early trading after the Toronto Stock Exchange opened.

CanaccordGenuity analyst David Tyerman attributed the revenue miss to a smaller increase in prices than anticipated, although volumes were in line with his estimates. Tyerman also said in a research note that CP’s profit margins were slightly below expectations, even though operating margin was better than expected Desjardins analyst Benoit Poirier also said that CP’s operating ratio was better than expected and suggested that the earnings miss was due to the impact of stock-based compensation, giving that the shares were up about C$40 in the quarter.

One of my favorite stories this year was Suzon Schaal, who chalked up another win on her great Genuine Brown Gal in the Non Pro Bridle class.

The two have teamed up for five world championships, but the Calgary rider and veterinarian points out the mare was initially terrified of cattle.

It took a slow and patient approach

for her to turn a horse that many had given up on into a top-notch performer.

There’s just never a shortage of interesting people to spur us on from the farm and ranch world.

The S&P/TSX composite index jumped 209.94 points to 14,547.71 as traders continued to snap up stocks beaten down over the course of a market selloff that started last month.

The selling pressure was ignited in part by worries about the state of the global economy and the impending end of a key stimulus measure by the U.S. Federal Reserve, its bond purchase program.

Tuesday’s gains — four triple-digit advances in a row — left the TSX down just seven per cent from the record highs reached last month.

It had been down almost 12 per cent at its worst levels last week. The TSX is still up six per cent year to date.

But analysts say it would be a mistake to think that the market’s retracement has run its course and that indexes will resume going more or less straight up.

“You will see more volatility, bigger swings in the markets and more emphasis on the news that comes through,” said Sadiq Adatia, chief investment officer for Sun Life Global Investment. “(It will be) more of a seesaw environment.

“But we still think it’s a seesaw heading upwards.”

The Canadian dollar was ahead 0.44 of a cent to 89.06 cents US. Data showing U.S. homes sold in September at their fastest clip this year helped send New York indexes sharply higher as the Dow Jones industrials surged 215.14 points to 16,614.81, the Nasdaq soared 103.41 points to 4,419.48 and the S&P 500 index jumped 37.27 points to 1,941.28.

Canadian Pacific Railway’s (TSX:CP) quarterly net income was up 23 per cent from a year ago to $400 million or $2.31 per share, missing estimates of $2.35 a share. CP also said that revenue came in at $1.67 billion, up nine per cent but missing estimates of $1.69 billion.

The railway’s operating ratio, a key efficiency metric, improved more than expected to a record low of 62.8. CP shares climbed $2.93 cent to $224.58.

Canadian National Railway (TSX:CNR) missed earnings estimates. It reported after the close that adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.04, a penny short of expectations and reaffirmed its financial outlook.

Its operating ratio also improved, falling to 58.8 from 59.8 per cent.

Commodity prices also advanced Tuesday even as China’s economic growth slowed to 7.3 per cent last quarter.

That is lower than the 7.5 per cent rate that had been targeted by Chinese leaders, who are trying to steer China toward growth based on domestic consumption instead of overreliance on trade and investment.

But the number was broadly in line with expectations and higher than some estimates that had pegged growth at 7.2 per cent for the quarter.

Most TSX sectors advanced with the base metals sector in the lead, rising three per cent as December copper was ahead four cents to US$3.03 a pound.

The energy sector was up 2.1 per cent even as the November crude contract, which expired Tuesday, rose 10 cents to US$82.81 a barrel.

The December contract ran up 58 cents to US$82.49.

Financial stocks were a major source of support with the sector ahead 1.25 per cent.

The gold sector was the only decliner, down about one per cent while December gold rose $7 to US$1,251.70 an ounce.

Q3 RESULTS

MONTREAL — Canadian National Railway said its net income surged 21 per cent to $853 million in the third quarter as revenues reached a record $3.12 billion on robust shipments of Canadian grain.

Excluding one-time items, the earnings for the period ended Sept. 30 amounted to $1.04 per share, a penny shy of expectations, and compared with net income of $705 million or 86 cents last year, which included a $19-million income tax expense.

Revenues grew 16 per cent from $2.7 billion as carloadings increased 11 per cent to 1.47 million and revenue-ton miles were up 13 per cent.

“Clearly we are growing much faster than the economy, which is our game plan,” CEO Claude Mongeau said Tuesday during a conference call.

CN’s operating ratio, a measure of efficiency, improved one percentage point to an all-time low of 58.8 per cent.

Operating income increased 19 per cent to $1.29 billion.

The Montreal-based railway also said its board of directors has authorized the repurchase over the next year of up to 28 million common shares, representing 3.4 per cent of shares outstanding. CN repurchased 22.3 million common shares last year, returning $1.4 billion to shareholders.

CN (TSX:CNR) had been expected to earn $1.05 per share in adjusted profits in the third quarter, according to analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Revenues were forecast to grow 16.6 per cent to $3.146 billion.

The railway saw its volume reach a record high in the quarter on record grain shipments of 5,000 hoppers per week and strong growth in energy mar-

kets.

“Contrary to some media reports, we are moving a lot of grain and we have the facts to support it,” chief marketing officer J.J. Ruest told analysts.

The federal government said last month that it would fine the railway for failing to comply with an order that it move a minimum amount of grain each week. But CN said weekly demand fell to about 4,500 cars per week on average for several weeks while waiting for the new harvest.

Mongeau said the network is back in sync and that CN maintained its market share at slightly above 50 per cent.

CN moved a record amount of grain last year, about 15 per cent more than the prior record and 20 per cent more than average. It estimates that 58 million tonnes will be available from the new crop that will keep the railway busy through spring or early summer.

Asked about potential railway mergers following Canadian Pacific’s (TSX:CP) interest in CSX, Mongeau said the changes would “likely start with the four railroads in the U.S. going down to two.”

CN maintained its full-year outlook to deliver solid double-digit EPS growth over $3.06 in adjusted diluted EPS last year and to generate free cash flow in the range of $1.8 billion to $2 billion, excluding major asset sales.

Analyst foresee strong growth prospects for CN in crude oil and frac sand, along with international intermodal from Prince Rupert, B.C. Fadi Chamoun of BMO Capital Markets anticipates the railway will generate 14 per cent compounded annual earnings per share growth over the next five years.

China’s economic growth falls to 7.3 per cent in Q3 LOWEST IN 5 YEARS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING — China’s economic growth waned to a five-year low of 7.3 per cent last quarter, raising concerns of a spillover effect on the global economy but falling roughly in line with Chinese leaders’ plans for a controlled slowdown.

The third-quarter figures, released Tuesday, put China on course for annual growth somewhat lower than the 7.5 per cent targeted by leaders, though they have indicated there is wiggleroom in their plan. The world’s No. 2 economy grew 7.5 per cent from a year earlier in the previous quarter and 7.4 per cent in the first quarter.

Communist leaders are trying to steer China toward growth based on domestic consumption instead of overreliance on trade and investment. But the slowdown comes with the risk of politically dangerous job losses and policymakers bolstered growth in the second quarter with mini-stimulus measures. Employment, however, remained strong through the third quarter and the service industries such as retailing that leaders want to promote have done well this year despite the downturn, which has been focused largely in the property market, said economist Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics.

“There is still a lot of downward pressure on the economy,” Evans-Pritchard said. Spending on infrastructure shored up growth in the second

quarter but “once that fizzled out, the downward pressure has returned.”

Investors shrugged off the news, relieved that China’s growth hadn’t fallen below 7 per cent. The Dow Jones industrial average was up more than 140 points in early-afternoon trading Tuesday. European stocks rose, and Asian stocks were mixed.

A further slowdown in China’s economy would likely cause some damage to the U.S. economy, the world’s largest, as well as commodity producers such as Australia, Indonesia and Brazil that have grown accustomed to strong Chinese demand.

Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, estimates that each 1 percentage point drop in China’s economic growth shaves 0.2 percentage point from annual U.S. growth, which is equal to the effect of a $20-a-barrel increase in oil prices.

Still, the third-quarter figure beat expectations by many economists of about 7.2 per cent, or lower, which could have increased calls for a new round of major stimulus measures that the government can ill afford after a debt fueled investment binge in response to the 2009 global recession.

Asian stock markets took the data largely in stride, ending the day with unspectacular gains or losses.

“Although growth has slowed, it reflects a welcome rebalancing away from excess investment in certain sectors of the economy and is not cause for significant concern,” Evans-Pritchard said in a report.

Sandhu excited for fresh start NEW REBEL HOPES TO REDISCOVER OFFENSIVE TOUCH

BY GREG MEACHEM ADVOCATE SPORTS EDITOR As Tyler Sandhu was en route to Red Deer Tuesday after departing a flight from British Columbia, he gazed upon combined crop fields instead of the waters of Possession Sound that lap the shores of Everett, Wash.

Now that’s truly a change of scenery, and precisely what the 18-yearold winger is hoping will help him rediscover the offensive touch that produced 19 goals as a Western Hockey League rookie two seasons ago.

Sandhu met his new teammates just 24 hours after Red Deer Rebels GM/head coach Brent Sutter acquired the product of Richmond, B.C., from the Silvertips Monday in exchange for a pair of fourth-round WHL bantam draft picks. He was brought in to add more offensive punch to the 3-7-1-0 Rebels, who have averaged three goals per game to this point in the season.

Sandhu is a proven talent, having produced 19 goals and 33 points during the 2012-13 Tyler Sandhu season and 13 goals and 30 points during an injury-shortened 2013-14 campaign. He started this season on the ‘Tips’ fourth line and had one goal in nine games, but Sutter is banking on Sandhu returning to his previous form in short order and then performing at an even greater rate of success over the next two years.

The newest Rebel is pleased with the transaction and is anxious to prove that he can be at least an occasional difference-maker.

“I’m happy and excited about being in Red Deer,” he said. “I’ve heard a lot of great things about the team and of course they’re hosting the Memorial Cup (in 2016). That’s a once-in-alifetime opportunity for a player. I’m excited to be here and I just want to help the team win some games.”

Sandhu took the high road out of Everett, praising the Silvertips organization and bench boss Kevin Constantine, even though he and his former head coach clearly weren’t on the same page this season.

“Kevin is a great coach, he’s taught me a lot of things,” said Sandhu. “At times my style of play wasn’t what he liked, but he’s obviously a great coach.

I’m just ready for a new start here, a new opportunity to bring my game and help out the team.

“I have a lot of work to do obviously.

I just want to work hard in practice and just keep going and hopefully that touch returns.”

Tampa Bay Lightning Tyler Johnson, right, fights for the puck as Calgary Flames Johnny Gaudreau, left, swats it away while goalie Karri Ramo looks on during second period NHL action in Calgary, Tuesday.

Flames get zapped by Lightning in OT after late game rally

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS Lightning 2 Flames 1 OT CALGARY — After a costly giveaway the night before that cost his team the game, Tampa Bay left-winger Ondrej Palat felt he owed his team. He didn’t wait long to make good on it.

Palat scored the winning goal three minutes into overtime on Tuesday night as the Lightning salvaged a split of back-to-back games in Alberta with a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames.

Tampa Bay took advantage of a Calgary turnover in the Flames’ end and Tyler Johnson got the puck back to the point. Anton Stralman’s shot was stopped from there but Palat put in the rebound for his second goal of the year.

“I knew I owed the team something, a goal or a game-winning goal, so I’m really happy,” said Palat, whose risky pass through the slot late in the game against the Oilers Monday was intercepted and led to the winning goal.

“Obviously, I made a bad play with three minutes left in the third period and it can’t happen. It was my fault.

But after the game, I turned the page,” Palat said. “I’m really happy that I could score for the guys.”

Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said he was happy for his sophomore forward.

“He’s such an unnoticed player in this league but so good. I don’t know if there’d be a coach in the league that would sit here and not want to take an Ondrej Palat or have a guy like that on his team. He earns his breaks and he deserved that one tonight.”

The Lightning trailed 1-0 before finally solving Flames goaltender Karri Ramo with 2:16 left in the third period.

Jonathan Drouin, playing in his second NHL game, got the puck in the corner and calmly zipped a diagonal pass to Jason Garrison at the far point.

Ramo got a piece of Garrison’s slapshot but Valtteri Filppula knocked in the rebound.

‘WE HAD TWO BREAKDOWNS THERE ON THEIR TWO GOALS. ESPECIALLY WITH A COUPLE MINUTES LEFT, WE HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN THAT.’ — MARK GIORDANO CALGARY FLAMES CAPTAIN

“I saw one guy go to the point guy on the weak side so I saw (Garrison) open up for a one-timer. I just tried to get it to him as quick as possible,” said Drouin, who picked up his first NHL point. “I was pretty happy to see that go in.”

Drouin opened the season on injured reserve with a fractured thumb.

Tampa Bay (4-2-1) has won two of its first three games on a five-game road trip, which continues in Winnipeg where the Lightning will play the Jets on Friday.

Dennis Wideman scored the only goal for Calgary (4-3-1).

Just back from a successful 4-2-0 road trip, the Flames were kicking off a five-game homestand, which continues on Thursday against Carolina.

“We had two breakdowns there on their two goals. Especially with a couple minutes left, we have to be better than that,” said Calgary captain Mark Giordano. “We have to learn from that.

That’s a tough one to swallow right now. We’ll take the point and learn from that, I guess.”

Scoreless after two periods, Calgary opened the third period with its second power play of the game and this one they converted thanks to a skilled play by rookie left-winger Johnny Gaudreau.

Bursting through the neutral zone and into the Lightning end with speed and stickhandling the puck the entire way, Gaudreau wove right to elude Stralman, wove left to evade Matthew Carle, then flung a pass back across

the slot to Wideman, who one-timed a shot past Evgeni Nabokov.

“I just skated down the side there and Johnny basically drew everybody in the rink to him, deked them out and then made a great pass to me,” said Wideman. “I don’t know how he knew that I was there, but he made some fantastic moves and just put it on my tape. I just got it on net.”

For Gaudreau, his highlight-reel assist was the third point in two games for the Flames rookie left-winger after being a healthy scratch two games ago in Columbus.

After a great pre-season, last years’s Hobey Baker Award winner got off to a tough start. He had no points and was held to only one shot in the first five games of the regular season.

Getting back in Sunday night in Winnipeg, Gaudreau responded with his best game of the season with a goal and an assist.

“I think we all knew Johnny could be a great game-breaker. That’s no secret,” Wideman said. “Whenever he has the puck in the offensive zone, he can control the play and control the game.”

Ramo made 20 saves in falling to 2-1-1. Nabokov had 21 stops to even his record at 1-1-0.

The first period was mostly uneventful until the late going when Giordano caught Nikita Kucherov with a hard hit. In response, J.T. Brown jumped in and he and Giordano dropped the gloves to a roar from the Saddledome crowd showing their support for Calgary’s captain.

Notes: Drouin skated on a line with Filppula and Steven Stamkos... Ryan Callahan (lower body) did not play for Tampa Bay after leaving Monday’s game early... Healthy scratches for the Flames were RW Devin Setoguchi, RW Brian McGrattan and D Raphael Diaz... The game went nearly six minutes without a whistle in the second period. As a result, the major penalties to Giordano and Miller saw them sit in the penalty box for 9:49.

Bumgarner roughs up Royals in World Series opener

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Giants 7 Royals 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants put a sudden stop to the Kansas City Royals’ perfect post-season roll.

Bumgarner pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning, Hunter Pence homered early and the Giants showed off their October poise, shutting down the Royals 7-1 Tuesday night in the World Series opener.

“Our team is concentrating on what we’re doing, not what the Royals are doing,” Bumgarner said.

From the get-go, the Giants simply did everything right to win their seventh straight World Series game.

There’s a reason Bumgarner and this bunch in black and orange are trying for their third title in five years.

“I can’t say I’m surprised by these guys,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.

The Royals, meanwhile, looked nothing like the fresh team that had become baseball’s darlings by starting the playoffs with eight wins in a row — back on the field after a five-day layoff,

their pitching, hitting and fielding all deserted them.

The fates seemed to change from the very first batter, in fact. Gregor Blanco led off with a soft line drive to centre field and AL Championship Series MVP Lorenzo Cain charged, then backed off as the ball fell for a single.

It would’ve taken a near miracle to catch it, but that’s the kind of play the Royals had been making on a routine basis. Moments later, Pence’s two-run homer highlighted a three-run burst in the first inning against James Shields.

Nicknamed “Big Game James,” he once again failed to live up to that billing and left in the fourth when the Giants made it 5-0.

“It just wasn’t my night tonight,” Shields said.

By then, Royals fans who had waited since 1985 for the Series to return to town had gone silent. Or, worse, they were booing while small “Let’s go, Giants!” chants echoed through Kauffman Stadium.

Just like that, what many figured would be a tight matchup had turned into a mismatch.

Oilers upbeat after getting first win EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers returned to practice Tuesday minus the 300-pound gorilla on their backs.

The Oilers won their first game of the season Monday, ending a spectacular face-plant out of the starting gate that had left a fragile fan base teetering on the abyss of despairing deja vu.

“For the group, (the win) was more of, ’OK, everything that we’ve put in place here will work and it can work and there’s no need to change anything,”’ Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins told reporters after the optional skate at Rexall Place. “That was the one thing we were really hammering home as a (coaching) staff.

“We’re comfortable with our systems, the way we’re teaching it, the progress that we’re making it, and we’re not going to change it.

“It’s going to work.”

The Oilers, galvanized by a electrifying penalty-shot goal by winger Taylor Hall, defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 Monday for the first win.

CFL

Calgary Stampeders star Jon Cornish rewarded for big week with pair of honours TORONTO — Calgary running back Jon Cornish was named CFL offensive player of the week and top Canadian after his stellar performance in the Stampeders’ 33-23 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last week.

REBELS: The right mindset Sandhu doesn’t know much about his new team, but recognizes some of the names on the roster.

“I’ve seen the lineup and I think we can be a good team with a little work,” he said. “Brent told me I have to come in with the right mindset and continue to work hard. He told me that it’s a new opportunity, a fresh start, and that I should just take it and run with it.”

The chance to perform in the 2016 Memorial Cup tournament is an added bonus for Sandhu, although he realizes he’s not guaranteed of a berth on the 2015-16 Rebels roster.

“I’m going to have to earn my spot,” he said. “It will be a privilege to play on a team like that. I’m just going to keep working hard and hopefully it will work out.”

Athletes don’t lose skill. They might lose their focus or even lose sight of the big picture, but they don’t misplace talent.

“I just have to get that confidence back and this likes like a great place to play hockey,” said Sandhu, who will make his Rebels debut Friday against the visiting Prince George Cougars.

“I’m excited.” gmeachem@reddeeradvocate.com

SERIES: Good omen And it was a good omen for the Giants — the Game 1 winner has won 15 of the last 17 World Series.

The Royals will try to get even in Game 2 on Wednesday night when rookie Yordano Ventura starts against veteran Jake Peavy.

“We didn’t expect to come in here and sweep the San Francisco Giants,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said.

“We knew that this was a series that was going to go deep. We know how tough they are.”

Bumgarner added to his sparkling World Series resume, improving to 3-0 and extending his scoreless streak to 21 innings before Salvador Perez homered with two outs in the seventh.

“I would tell you I wasn’t thinking about it, but you know,” Bumgarner said. “There’s no way around it. You know. There’s so much talk about it.

Obviously, a World Series game is not something you tend to forget.”

A U T O

The victory vaulted the Oilers out of the league cellar past the Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes, and Winnipeg Jets into a tie with the Colorado Avalanche for 26th spot.

The Oilers opened the season with a 5-2 loss to the Calgary Flames, followed by a shootout loss to the Vancouver Canucks and punishing beatdowns at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings and the Arizona Coyotes.

Hall said things began to turn around in last Friday’s 2-0 loss to the Canucks.

“We tried to eliminate those Grade A (opposition scoring) chances from our game, and it seemed like in Vancouver that happened,” he said.

Eakins agreed. He said the Oilers needed to improve their defensive play but were undone in the early going by some bad bounces.

“We’ve had some pucks go right through us, where we’ve been in good positions — stick, skates — (but) somehow it got through,” he said.

“We’ve continued to try to look after that red zone as much as you can, and we’re (now) finding a way to get our sticks and our feet in a way of those

pucks.”

Eakins has also been matching his top line of Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle against the other team’s best trio. Against Tampa Bay he matched them against Steve Stamkos’s line and came out on top.

“I thought (Nugent-Hopkins) was by far the best player on the ice and was driving the game,” said Eakins.

Nugent-Hopkins’ line has also been matched up against the Sedin twins in Vancouver.

Bring it on, said Hall.

“It’s fun to go up against the guys.

And we took it as a challenge last night to go up against a player like Stamkos,” said Hall. “The best way to play against those (top lines) is to play in their end, and make them play defence, and go at them that way.”

Eakins said the top line may be matched up against Alexander Ovechkin when the Oilers host the Washington Capitals Wednesday.

But while the dark clouds have receded, the Oilers know they’re still in a storm.

Offensive leaders from last year like Eberle and David Perron have yet to

Cornish, from New Westminster, B.C., had 21 carries for 160 rushing yards and scored on a nine-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory. He also had a 12-yard reception.

Edmonton linebacker Dexter McCoil was named defensive player of the week. He had a career-high seven tackles and added a pass knockdown and an interception to help the Eskimos to a 24-19 win over Saskatchewan.

Eskimos kick returner Kendial Lawrence took the special-teams honour after recording 150 combined return yards and scoring a touchdown.

NHL’s quick suspension of Slava Voynov good sign

The 25-year-old called MadBum by his teammates was in trouble only once. Down 3-0 in the third, the Royals loaded the bases with a two-out walk and cleanup man Eric Hosmer stepped to the plate, but grounded out on the first pitch.

Bumgarner went on to stretch his road post-season scoreless streak to a record 32 2-3 innings as the Giants cruised. He pitched three-hit ball for seven innings, struck out five and walked one.

“He’s special. He’s got that flair for the spectacular,” Pence said. “He never makes it bigger than it is. He just gets out there and competes.”

Michael Morse, getting to play as the designated hitter in the AL park, had an RBI single that finished Shields, and reliever Danny Duffy walked Blanco with the bases loaded.

Rookie Joe Panik hit an RBI triple that bounced past usually reliable right fielder Nori Aoki in the seventh and scored on a single by October force Pablo Sandoval. The MVP of the 2012 World Series triumph, Sandoval also had an RBI double in the first that extended his post-season streak of reaching base to 24 straight games.

Pence also doubled and walked.

“We’re ready to move on tomorrow,” Shields said. “We’re upbeat. This team came in here and said, ’We’re going to get them tomorrow.’ We have a lot of positive attitude right now, we’re tracking at an all-time high. We just faced a good pitcher tonight.”

Before the game, the mood at the ballpark was positively giddy. Ushers greeted fans with “Welcome to the World Series!” and some hot-dog vendors high-fived each other behind the counter. Yet the Giants wrecked that fun, and won for the 16th time in their last 18 post-season games.

The Royals had won 11 straight in the post-season dating to their 1985 championship run, one short of the record held by a pair of New York Yankees clubs.

But it was clear from the start that this would not be their night, and not even the little things went well.

Early in the game, Kansas City third base coach Mike Jirschele retrieved a foul ball and tried to flip it into the stands. Instead, his toss fell well short of reaching the seats.

UP NEXT Giants: Peavy lost 12 straight decisions this season, spanning his July trade from Boston to the Giants. ... The 33-year-old is 1-3 with a 7.03 ERA in seven post-season starts.

Royals: The 23-year-old Ventura will become the first rookie to start a World Series game at any position.

Goaltender Ben Scrivens has been erratic and the Oilers are still prone to getting caught running around in their own end of the ice.

They need success now as they enter the mid-point of a seven-game homestand before heading east on a fivegame trip in early November.

The Oilers are also dealing with a fan base that, after eight consecutive seasons of empty promises and no playoffs, has gone from twitchy to downright jumpy.

As the early losses piled up, fans took to social media to carve the team: too many youngsters, not enough focus in training camp, fire the coach.

Eakins was ridiculed as some kind of eggheaded Mr. Peabody looking to X and O his way out of a game that is often no more complicated than who wants the puck more.

Perron said they’re not out of the woods.

“We can’t get ahead of ourselves,” he said. “We’ve done a lot of nice things so far that people are talking about, but it’s only one win out of six games.”

Raptors work on defence ahead of regular season

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The NBA pre-season can seem numbingly long, but the Toronto Raptors still have plenty of work to do before the curtain comes up on the regular season next week.

Coach Dwane Casey spent Tuesday’s practice session in teaching mode. At the top of his agenda: defence. Again.

The Raptors are 5-1 on the pre-season, but have yet to put in the solid defensive effort — especially on the boards — that Casey would like to see before opening-night tipoff.

“I want to start the real season but we’re still in practice mode, we’ve got to fix some things,” said centre Jonas Valanciunas, who led the Raptors in rebounds last season. “(Rebounding) is an area we’ve got to get better on. We’re doing that every practice, so hope we’re going to get better and we’re going to show better results.

“We’ve got to get used to going for the ball, all five guys.”

The Raptors were a disappointing 20th in the NBA last season in defensive rebounding.

The 22-year-old Valanciunas will be counted on to anchor Toronto’s defence. However, despite going into his third NBA season, the Lithuanian still has a lot to learn before he has a complete grasp of the nuances of the NBA game.

Valanciunas played in Los Angeles last summer before going to Spain for the FIBA World Cup, where he led the tournament in shooting percentage at 69.6 per cent.

“But one summer is not enough, he

needs to continue to go with Hakeem (Olajuwon, former Raptor and Hall of Famer) or whoever in the summer,” Casey said. “He needs to play pickup basketball where it’s not as organized or you really have to anticipate against quicker athletes, maybe smaller athletes, so it’s a work in progress for him.”

Valanciunas could be one of the more comfortable Raptors when the team hosts Maccabi Haifi at Air Canada Centre on Wednesday. The team plays in the Israeli Basketball Super League, winning the Super League championship in the 2012-13 season — its first Israeli title since the team was formed in 1953.

“It’s a good test for us, they play a different style, mostly four out and one in, really spread the floor, a lot like four guards out there on the floor,” Casey said. “So it’s going to be a challenge for Amir (Johnson) and Tyler (Hansbrough) and the big fours (power forwards) to get out there and guard those guys off the bounce, off the dribble, getting back in transition.

“It will be a challenge for us. They play faster up and down moreso than we’re used to and a tremendous amount of pick and rolls, a lot like what San Antonio did with four ballhandlers with the ability to run a pick and roll, which is a little different than what you see in the NBA.” Maccabi Haifa, which is owned by American businessman Jeffrey Rosen, was beaten 91-59 by the Kings on Sunday. They’d arrived in Sacramento following a 10-hour bus ride from Portland, where they lost 121-74 to the Trailblazers.

Researchers develop ‘smart blade’ to measure impact on figure skaters

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Triple axel, death spiral, lutz, salchow, quadruple: figure skating even sounds painful.

It is estimated that the magnitude of force on a skaters’ body when they land on the ice can be up to six times their body weight.

Injuries are common and can be career-ending.

But a team of researchers has developed a smart ice skate to measure the exact impact on the skater during a routine.

They hope to use that data to help hone the best techniques, training and skate design to reduce chronic injury in the sport, said Deborah King, an associate professor in the department of sport sciences at Ithaca College in New York.

“Figure skaters have, I would say, a fairly high incidence of injury which are thought to be related to the impacts from all the landings on the ice,” King said.

But so far, that’s just a theory.

“We don’t know how high the impacts really are because most testing has been done in laboratory settings.”

For more than two years King and colleagues at Brigham Young University have worked on designing electronic gauges to fit under the boot on the blade of the skate to measure strain and force. The data will be recorded on an secure digital card that also fits on the skate.

The device had to be small enough not to affect performance, and it had to work on the ice during real training and real routines, King said.

The team is now equipping commercial skates in a range of sizes so they can begin on-ice tests this winter.

Big servers Raonic and Karlovic advance at Swiss Indoors

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Canada’s Milos Raonic serves a ball to U.S. tennis player Steve Johnson during their first round match at the Swiss Indoors tennis tournament at the St. Jakobs hall in Basel, Switzerland, on Tuesday.

BASEL, Switzerland — Fourth-seeded Canadian Milos Raonic hit 12 aces and saved all five break points he faced as he beat Steve Johnson of the United States 7-6 (4), 6-4 in the first round of the Swiss Indoors on Tuesday.

Johnson, who did not face a break point in the first set, saved one on his opening service game in the second set, where he also missed four chances to break Raonic’s serve.

Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., ended a threematch losing skid by breaking Johnson’s serve for the first time in the 10th game. The Canadian will face American Donald Young in the next round.

Raonic defeated Young in their only previous meeting last summer in Washington.

Meanwhile, eighth-seeded Ivo Karlovic had 23 aces as he advanced with a 7-6 (4), 6-3 win against Lukas Rosol. Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil was scheduled to play his first-round match against Finland’s Jarkko Nieminen later Tuesday.

Raonic has struggled of late after battling a virus that sapped his strength and limited his energy. But the Canadian came through in the first-set tiebreaker and finished with 12 aces.

“I managed to stick around in that first set,” Raonic said. “I made the most of the opportunities I had in the breaker. I felt I was playing better and better, but I need to get significantly better for my next match. But I feel like I’m on

the right track.”

Karlovic won 95 per cent of his first-serve points and next plays Frenchman Kenny De Schepper, who beat Argentina’s Federico Delbonis 7-6 (3), 7-5.

In other first-round action, German Benjamin Becker needed just over one hour to breeze past qualifier Gastao Elias of Portugal 6-3, 6-2. He next faces either third-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland or Kazakhstan’s Mikhail Kukushkin, who played later Tuesday.

Croatia’s Ivan Dodig needed nearly three hours to get the better of Swiss wild card Marco Chiudinelli 6-4, 6-7 (7), 6-4 and next plays seventh-seeded David Goffin of Belgium.

Top-seeded Roger Federer and No. 2 Rafael Nadal, who struggled with appendicitis earlier this month in Shanghai, are in second-round action on Wednesday.

Federer, a recent winner in Shanghai, faces Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller and Nadal takes on unheralded Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert, a qualifier ranked 120th.

Raonic is working to recover his position in the race to reach the eight-man year-end final next month in London. After losing matches in Tokyo, Shanghai and Moscow, the ninth-ranked Canadian fell to 10th in the points race after being passed by Andy Murray and David Ferrer.

While he would love to do well in his first appearance in Basel, Raonic said next week’s Paris Masters — with 1,000 points on offer — will be a key event.

Wozniaki hands Sharapova a critical blow to capturing No. 1 ranking

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SINGAPORE — Caroline Wozniacki credited her training for next month’s New York Marathon as a key factor in her victory over Maria Sharapova in a grueling three-set match in the WTA Finals on Tuesday.

Wozniacki won 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 6-2 to beat Sharapova for the second-straight time, having also won in the fourth round of the U.S. Open. Tuesday’s result in the round-robin match dealt a major blow to Sharapova’s hopes of claiming the year-end No. 1 ranking.

Wozniacki, who has always been regarded as one of the fittest players on tour, said her additional running work in preparation for the marathon had taken her stamina to a new level and also given her added belief in Tuesday’s 3 hour, 15-minute match.

“I just feel like right now with all the training and running I’ve been doing I can keep being out there and keep running,” Wozniacki said. “I kept thinking to myself out there in the third set, ’If you’re going to get tired now, how are you going to get through this marathon? You better keep going.”’

As much as she believed the training had helped her aerobic fitness, she said the marathon will be a one-timeonly affair and not one that she would recommend to other players.

“To do it year in and year out, I don’t think it’s possible,” Wozniacki said.

“Our bodies get a beating already. I don’t think it’s necessary to do this again while I’m on tour.”

No such stamina was required in Tuesday’s other match as Agnieszka Radwanska had a comfortable 6-2, 6-3 win over Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova.

It was an impressive performance by the Pole, who had been beaten in straight sets the past two times she had played Kvitova. It was the fourth successive year in which the pair had faced each other in their opening matches at the WTA Finals.

Sharapova had 15 double-faults, including two while serving for the first set, and 76 unforced errors. Wozniacki finished the match, which had 12 breaks of serve, with 35 unforced errors.

The defeat in her opening roundrobin match means Sharapova now needs to at least reach the final in Singapore and hope Serena Williams loses her two remaining group matches if she is to overtake the American and finish the season with the top ranking for the first time.

Having staved off a set point against her in the 10th game, Wozniacki took the first set by winning the final five points of the tiebreaker.

Wozniacki went up a break early in the second, but relinquished the advantage in the sixth game as she complained to the chair umpire about swirling lights which suddenly came on during the middle of a point and remained on for the rest of the game.

The Dane recovered quickly after dropping the set, breaking Sharapova early in the third and then twice more to end it.

Sharapova was frustrated by her error-strewn performance, blaming her mistakes rather than Wozniacki’s play for her two consecutive losses to the Dane.

NFL SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD NEW YORK — The NFL has created a Sportsmanship Award that will be voted on by the players and presented to the winner on the eve of the Super Bowl.

The award will be part of the NFL Honors show in which The Associated Press presents its major league awards, including MVP and Coach of the Year.

A player “who best demonstrates the qualities of on-field sportsman-

ship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents, and integrity in competition” will earn the award, the NFL said Tuesday.

“While we enjoy the incredible performance of NFL players on the field, we must never forget a core value of football that transcends all levels of play and exemplifies the complete athlete: sportsmanship,” NFL Executive Vice-President of Football Operations

Look in today’s paper for your copy of this week’s JYSK flyer.

Troy Vincent said.

“This award will recognize those who never hesitate to show that excellence in football is not achieved without respect for the game, for their opponents, for the officials and for the fans.”

The winner will be announced during the nationally televised NFL Honors show on Jan. 31 on NBC.

“It’s happened the last couple of times I played against her,” Sharapova said. “The chances that you have when you’re serving for a set, it’s in your hands to finish that off.

“When you give those chances back, a player that’s top 10 in the world and has the experience as Caroline does, you’re not just going to run away with the match.”

The losses by Sharapova and Kvitova have thrown the White Group wide open, with Radwanska’s convincing victory highlighting her title credentials.

The Pole has not performed at her best in past appearances at the seasonending event, having been eliminated at the group stage in three out of four years.

“I feel much better than last year at the championships,” Radwanska said.

“I haven’t played many matches in the past two weeks, which has helped.

“I’ve learnt my lessons from past

years about how to play at my best.”

The match started after 11 p.m. local time, when Kvitova said “normally I am sleeping”, and began as an even contest. But Radwanska managed breaks in the Czech’s last two service games of the opening set, and then won the final three games of the second set to record a convincing victory.

Kvitova, who won only two points on her second serve during the second set, said Radwanska did not produce “anything really special” but she struggled to read the pace of the court.

“Sometimes was so fast and so slow, so was really difficult for me to find the timing,” Kvitova said. “My serve was OK, but she returned a lot of balls back, which is always difficult for me, to then play rally with her.”

In Wednesday’s matches, Williams will face Simona Halep while the other Red Group match will be Ana Ivanovic against Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que.

County cuts garbage cost TWO-YEAR CONRACT Red Deer County expects to make big savings after switching its garbage collection contractor.

Council unanimously approved a two-year, $2.79-million contract to MCL Waste Systems and Environmental on Tuesday. The company beat out a

$3.76-million bid from rival and current contractor BFI Canada.

MCL will operate the county’s Horn Hill, Yankee Flats and Gaetz Creek Waste Transfer Facilities and haul garbage to a landfill in Coronation.

Andrew Treu, the county’s environmental services manager, said the biggest difference in the bids was in hauling costs. MCL came in $700,000

cheaper.

Mayor Jim Wood said the savings shows the benefit of putting out contracts to tender in the marketplace. He said BFI has provided good service to the county since 2011, but the county will benefit from lower costs.

Coun. Philip Massier asked how the new contract will fit in with the county’s three-year budget and the future

goal of making garbage collection pay for itself through charges and tipping fees. Treu said the new contract will bring the county “much closer” to a cost-neutral position.

Treu also said that the company will be able to provide the same level of service as previously experienced.

MCL has previous experience hauling garbage in the county.

TAYLOR TRAFFIC FLOWING

Photo by ASHLI BARRETT/Advocate staff

Traffic flows freely through the improved intersection at Taylor Drive and Ross Street. After several months of construction, lane closures and blocked access, the project is almost complete. All lanes were open on Saturday morning, with fully functioning traffic lights. Landscaping and other finishing touches will happen next season. The $20-million construction project transformed the busy intersection to three legs from a four-legged crossing. The intersection has operated at a limited capacity for months while roads were upgraded and sidewalks and crosswalks were added.

BRIEF Block heater timers snapped up Red Deerians are plugged in to the city’s latest energy-saving initiative.

The City of Red Deer offered 500 block heater timers to citizens for free, on a first-come, first-served basis.

The response was overwhelming, as the 500 devices were given away in hours on Friday and Saturday.

In one of the only such giveaway programs in Canada, the city offered the timers in exchange for participant pledges to warm their vehicles for two to three hours per night instead of the usual 12 hours during cold winter months.

The program helps drivers save energy and up to $48 per season, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality. Vehicles don’t require any more than two to three hours plugged in to be at optimum temperature.

The city’s Environmental Services Department will follow up with participants during the winter.

Pastor’s book published posthumously A Lacombe woman has published her late husband’s book, A Day in the Life of Jesus.

Seven months before his death, Pastor Dennis Nickel finished his book and made plans to publish it. However, with a busy schedule pastoring three churches, helping at the district church school, being active in the community and battling cancer, he never fulfilled his dream.

He passed away on Aug. 4, 2011, and now his wife Jenny Nickel and his children have decided to finish what he had started.

“Dennis had a great imagination and when reading the Bible, he found it came to life for him if he imagined the events,” said Jenny Nickel in a press

Photo exhibit examines tragedy An Edmonton visual artist, photographer and creative writer documents the traumatic journey of losing a baby in an exhibit that opened at the Kiwanis Gallery on Tuesday.

Alexis Marie Chute worked to process the lifealtering changes through her art. Using a Holga camera and other techniques, she captures the momentary reflections, which are never devoid of emotions.

She uses photographic composition, colour and black and white film, and lighting to communicate her family’s experience in an honest and soulful way.

The work is intended to resonate with all viewers, since death touches everyone at some point. Chute believes difficult subject matter should be openly discussed and that by speaking out, she gives other bereaved people a voice.

The show is called Unfulfilled Precognition: Works

by Alexis Marie Chute. The exhibit runs until Nov. 23, with a First Friday Red Deer Reception Nov. 7 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Kiwanis Gallery. The gallery is located in the basement of the Red Deer Public Library at 110 4813 50th Ave. Chute has garnered an international reputation, earning 25 awards for her work since 2008. She was named emerging Canadian photographer of the year

by Photo Life Magazine in 2012. Her work is represented in the Art Gallery of Alberta and Method Art in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Terrorist ideology behind attack

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, Que. — Police say a car was driven deliberately into two soldiers, killing one of them in what Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney called an act of violence against Canada that was “clearly linked” to terrorist ideology.

Blaney said Tuesday that Canada is taking terrorist threats seriously, adding he was “horrified and saddened”

by Monday’s incident in Saint-Jeansur-Richelieu.

“What took place yesterday is clearly linked to terrorist ideology,” he told a news conference in the town southeast of Montreal that is home to a military college and a garrison.

“It is an unacceptable act of violence against our country, our Quebec values, our Canadian values.”

Quebec provincial police announced the soldier’s death Tuesday morning and later identified him as Patrice Vincent, a 53-year-old warrant officer. No other details about Vincent were released in the police tweet.

In the Commons, however, Prime Minister Stephen Harper praised Vincent as a 28-year veteran who served with distinction across the country.

“This was a despicable act of violence that strikes against not just this soldier and his colleagues, but frankly against our very values as a civilized democracy,” Harper said.

“We will continue to stand with the men and women of the Armed Forces who defend us against these threats.”

Provincial police described the second soldier’s injuries as less serious and said his life was not in danger.

Lt. Guy Lapointe told a separate news conference Tuesday that the act was deliberate and that one of the two soldiers was in uniform.

Earlier, Blaney said that as far as he knows no order has been given to members of the Canadian Forces to not wear their fatigues in public.

Harper also issued a statement Tuesday to offer his condolences to the slain soldier’s family and friends after what he called a “vicious event.”

“We also offer our prayers for the recovery of the member who was injured,” he said. “I would also like to

One of two soldiers hit by a car on Monday in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., died of his injuries early Tuesday, according to Quebec provincial police. thank first responders on the scene for their efforts.

“Finally, I want to express that the authorities can count on our full support in order to get to the bottom of this terrible act.”

On Monday, the Prime Minister’s Office said the man who died from police gunfire after he struck the soldiers had “become radicalized.”

“The individual who struck the two CAF members with his car is known to federal authorities, including the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team,” said a statement from Jason MacDonald, Harper’s communications director.

“Federal authorities have confirmed that there are clear indications that the individual had become radicalized.”

On Tuesday, RCMP Commissioner

Bob Paulson said the Mounties are investigating with Quebec provincial police to “get a full understanding of the breadth and the sort of reach this individual might have had into other areas.”

He said he does not suspect the slain man had co-conspirators.

And Paulson confirmed the man was one of 90 suspected extremists the RCMP believed were intending to join fights abroad or who have returned to Canada.

“That’s what follows from the analysis; his passport was seized by us ...”

“He was part of our investigative efforts to try and identify those people who might commit a criminal act travelling abroad for terrorist purposes. In that respect, we were working him and other suspects, and we need to let the investigation now proceed, and pursue

and satisfy everyone.”

Provincial police also said the 25-year-old in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu was known to authorities.

Several media outlets cited law enforcement sources as naming the suspect as Martin Rouleau, though police would not confirm his identity to The Canadian Press.

Lapointe refused to give out the name on Tuesday, citing the need for the coroner to formally identify him.

On Monday, he said the shooting occurred after the man hit the two pedestrians in the parking lot of a shopping mall and took off.

That triggered a chase that ended with the man losing control and his car rolling over several times.

Lapointe said the man was brandishing a knife when he emerged from the vehicle.

Pakistani teen Malala made an honorary citizen

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Parliamentarians and senators have unanimously supported bestowing honorary Canadian citizenship upon Pakistani teenager and co-winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, Malala Yousafzai.

The vote comes on the eve of Yousafzai’s visit to Canada where she’ll participate in an event on women’s rights in Toronto.

The teen is being made an honorary Canadian in recognition of her bravery in her fight for the rights of women and girls to go to school, Prime Minister Stephen Harper told the House of Commons on Tuesday.

Yousafzai, now 17, became the target of Taliban assassins for being an outspoken advocate for the right of girls to go to school in her region of Pakistan.

She survived an attempt on her life two years ago and has since gone on to become an international spokesperson for the importance of access to education.

“She serves as a model and an inspiration to Canadians and to the entire

The Conservatives announced their intention to make her Canada’s sixth honorary citizen in last year’s throne speech.

Nothing more was said until earlier

this month when Yousafzai was declared as the co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and the government announced she was coming to Canada.

She is scheduled to attend an event called “Strong Girls, Strong World”, being hosted by the government at a

Toronto school Wednesday afternoon.

The prime minister’s office said the event “will focus on empowering young girls through meaningful discussion, to continue being leaders and voices of change in their communities.”

She’ll then officially be given her citizenship in a ceremony with Harper and Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander at a downtown hotel.

Harper and Yousafzai have met before: the two sat down together on the margins of a United Nations event in New York City last year.

There’s no official procedure involved in making someone an honorary citizen though precedent has been for the House of Commons and Senate to approve a motion before the honour is officially granted.

“We are honouring Malala today but really it is our honour for us to bring her within the family of Canadian citizens because her aspirations mirror the very best of our own values,” Liberal Senator James Cowan said during the Senate debate on the motion.

“Today we are standing as a nation and telling the world: ’we are all Malala.”’

‘Earth to Canada: Science Needs You’

OFF TO WAR

MORE THAN 800 FOREIGN SCIENTISTS URGE CANADA TO LOOSEN FUNDING AND FREEDOMS

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — More than 800 scientists from around the world have signed an open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper decrying what they call a rapid decline in funding and freedoms faced

by Canadian government scientists.

“Earth to Canada: Science Needs You,” says the headline over the letter that was published Tuesday as an ad in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper.

“As scientists outside of Canada committed to international co-operation in confronting threats to the planet and human health, we urge you to remove excessive and burdensome restrictions and barriers to scientific communication and collaboration faced by Canadian government scientists,” states the letter from the Washington-based Union of Concerned Scientists.

The missive carries 815 signatories and their academic credentials from 32 countries, including hundreds from the United States, Canada’s largest trading partner and leading science collaborator.

They say complex environmental and public health problems require the full participation of scientists from around the world, but Canadian scientists are missing in action due to budget cuts and constraints on their freedom to travel, communicate and collaborate.

The letter, with coincides with the Harper government’s science and technology week, prompted a fierce Conservative defence of their record.

“Since being elected, our government has made record investments in science, technology and innovation,” Ed Holder, the minister of state for science and technology, told the House of Commons.

“In fact Canada is ranked first in the G-7 for research and development in our colleges, universities and other

research institutes.”

He noted the government’s 2014 budget committed $1.5 billion over 10 years on the Canada First Research Excellence Fund.

New Democrat Kennedy Stewart, meanwhile, was left asking when the Conservatives “will start the repair of Canada’s public science reputation?”

Part of the divergence in views can be explained by divergent priorities.

The Conservatives have boosted funding for applied research while moving away from basic science. A government announcement last week illustrates the point: A new Canada Excellence Research Chair at the University of Calgary, with $10 million in federal cash over seven years “to make Alberta’s world-class oilsands easier to extract.”

Some scientific areas have done very well under the Harper government, others have been sharply cut.

What’s less in dispute is the muzzle placed on government scientists, including constraints on international collaboration.

In 2013, American scientists went public with their refusal after the Department of Fisheries and Oceans demanded that scientists on a joint Canada-U.S. Arctic research project sign a sweeping confidentiality agreement.

That was just one incident contributing to a phenomenon later tracked in a large poll of public service scientists by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada.

Out of more than 4,000 federal scientists polled last October, almost 25 per cent said they’d been directly asked to exclude or alter information for “nonscientific reasons.”

More than 70 per cent of those surveyed said political interference was compromising policy development based on scientific evidence. Almost half said they were aware of cases in which their department or agency suppressed information.

Egypt sets date for appeal hearing for Canadian journalist CAIRO, Egypt — The brother of an imprisoned Egyptian-Canadian journalist says a Cairo court has set a date to hear the appeal for Mohamed Fahmy and his two fellow colleagues.

Adel Fahmy says the scheduled court date is Jan. 1, 2015.

He says it’s further away than the family had hoped for but the mere fact that it has been scheduled is a relief.

Mohamed Fahmy was working for Qatar-based satellite news broadcaster Al-Jazeera English when he was arrested in Cairo on Dec. 29 along with two colleagues — Australian correspondent Peter Greste and Baher Mohamed, an Egyptian producer.

After a trial which drew heavy international criticism, the trio were convicted in June on charges linked to

Their sentences have been condemned world over.

Fourth Quebec MP quits federal NDP to form new party with ex-Bloc MP OTTAWA — New Democrat MP Jean-Francois Larose has joined forces with an independent MP to create a new, Quebec-only party.

Larose is the fourth Quebec MP to abandon the NDP since its fabled orange wave swept 59 of the province’s 75 seats in the 2011 election.

The party’s Quebec caucus chair, Robert Aubin, says Larose is betraying the memory of Jack Layton, who died a few months after leading the NDP to its best electoral showing ever.

Larose is joining Jean-Francois Fortin, a former Bloc Quebecois MP, to form Forces et Democratie, a party they say will be dedicated to defending the interests of Quebec’s regions.

More Than Just Beads!

MONTREAL — A British newspaper received an email believed to be from Luka Rocco Magnotta that suggested the death of a human was being planned just months before Jun Lin’s slaying, the jury heard Tuesday.

Alex West, a reporter for the London-based Sun, interviewed Magnotta in December 2011 at a hotel room above a pub in Wembley over allegations the accused posted videos of cat killings.

Audio of the roughly 30-minute exchange between Magnotta and West, recorded surreptitiously by the journalist, was heard in court Wednesday.

It marked one of the first instances Magnotta has been heard speaking extensively as he has uttered few words since the beginning of his first-degree murder trial.

Two days after the interview with a “cocky” and “defensive” Magnotta, West and his employer received an email from a man they believed was Magnotta who suggested he was intending to kill a human and film the event in the near future.

“Next time you hear from me it will be in a movie I am producing, that will have some humans in it, not just pussys. :),” the author wrote near the end of the email, sent Dec. 10, 2011.

The email, which was rife with spelling and grammatical mistakes, was written under the name John Kilbride, but referenced a meeting with a “sexy” Sun journalist, leading the paper and West to believe Magnotta had authored it.

West, 33, testified that Kilbride was one of the young victims of convicted serial killers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, perpetrators of the so-called Moors Murders in England in the mid1960s.

He said the slayings are now part of “British criminal folklore.”

“We believed this email to be from Mr. Magnotta,” West said, adding officials at the paper alerted police.

West’s testimony, given via video from the Canadian High Commission in London, is key as the Crown sets out to prove Magnotta’s acts were planned and deliberate.

The Crown contends the accused was planning a murder up to six months in advance, as indicated in the email. Magnotta is charged with firstdegree murder in Lin’s slaying and dismemberment in May 2012.

Magnotta, 32, would be arrested and charged in June 2012 in connection in Lin’s killing.

He has admitted the physical acts of which he’s accused but has pleaded not guilty by way of mental disorder.

Kids who drink non-cow’s milk twice as likely to have low vitamin D

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — Children who drink non-dairy milk products such as rice, almond or soy milk may have lower levels of vitamin D in their blood than those who drink cow’s milk, a study suggests.

The study, published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, found that kids who drank only non-dairy milk were more than twice as likely as children who drank only cow’s milk to be vitamin D-deficient.

Vitamin D, known as the sunshine vitamin, plays a critical role in bone development. Low levels of vitamin D can cause bone weakness and, in severe cases, rickets — a condition that causes bones to become soft and can potentially lead to skeletal deformities.

In Canada, cow’s milk and margarine are required by law to be fortified with vitamin D, which is also found naturally in fish, liver and egg yolks.

Most of the body’s vitamin D stores arise from exposure to sunlight, which converts cholesterol in the skin to vitamin D3. But from late fall through to spring, there is not enough sunlight in Canada for the body to make vitamin D, so dietary sources are critical to maintain bones and to optimize health.

Based on a recommendation by the Institute of Medicine, the level of vitamin D in a child’s blood should measure at least 50 nanomoles per litre to ensure good bone development. “When we looked at what different kinds of milk and milk beverages children were drinking, we found a gradient in their vitamin D levels,� said principal investigator Dr. Jonathon Maguire, a pediatrician and researcher at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. “What we found was that in children who were drinking only non-cow’s milk beverages, they had a lower level (of vi-

tamin D). About five per cent who were only drinking cow’s milk and about 11 per cent of children who were drinking only non-dairy milk were below that level (of 50 nmol/l),� he said. “Among children who drank noncow’s milk, every additional cup of non-cow’s milk was associated with a five per cent drop in vitamin D levels per month.�

The study involved 2,831 healthy children aged one to six who were recruited from seven Toronto pediatric or family medicine practices that are part of a research network called TARGet Kids!

Researchers found that 87 per cent of children in the study predominantly drank cow’s milk, while 13 per cent drank non-cow’s milk.

There are a variety of reasons some parents give their kids non-dairy milk products, including lactose intolerance, allergies and a perception that they may be a healthier choice. “I think there are perceived health benefits,� said Maguire. “The question is: are there actual health benefits?

And that’s one of the reasons we did this study.�

All cow’s milk sold in Canada has to be fortified with 100 international units (IU) of vitamin D per cup, and the dairy products are carefully regulated with content testing.

But non-dairy milk beverages made from such plant-based products as soy, rice and almonds fall outside the legislation, he said. “There doesn’t have to be vitamin D in non-dairy milk. So some do contain it and some don’t.�

Maguire advises parents who choose non-dairy milk for their children to check the nutritional information box on the product to see whether it contains vitamin D and how much.

Labels on many of the commercial plant-based milk products say they are enriched with vitamin D in quanti-

A new study has found that children who drink non-dairy milk products such as rice, almond or soy milk may have lower levels of vitamin D in their blood than those who drink cow’s milk. ties similar to the amount required for cow’s milk.

Sara Loveday, a spokeswoman for U.S.-based White Wave Foods, said by email that the company’s Silk-brand almond, soy and coconut milks are fortified with vitamin D, “and our products are clearly labelled to indicate its presence.�

Earth’s Own Food, a B.C. company that produces So Good, So Nice and Almond Fresh soy and almond milks, also fully fortifies its products, said marketing director Brendan Kelly.

While the decision to enrich a nondairy product is voluntary, Health Canada has guidelines for fortification that follow a specific schedule to make plant-based products “nutritionally adequate alternatives to milk,� Kelly said from Vancouver.

Earth’s Own soy and almond milks contain 45 per cent of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamin D per 250 millilitres, the same amount contained in cow’s milk.

“So it’s intended that it mirror milk or the nutrients in milk,� he said, noting that like cow’s milk, soy also naturally contains protein, which the other plant-based products do not.

While some companies follow the guidelines to enrich their non-dairy beverages, Kelly conceded there are some producers in the industry that don’t fortify their products with vitamin D. Still, Maguire said it’s important to make sure kids are getting enough of the nutrient. “I think we need to be a little bit careful about (a product’s) vitamin D content and pay particular attention to the back of the bottle,� he said, adding that the information should ideally be put on the front label so it’s easy for consumers to see. “It’s a little unclear to me at least why cow’s milk is fortified with vitamin D universally, but these alternatives that some parents are choosing are not.�

B.C. man first known fatality linked to enterovirus D68 in Canada

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — The death of a young man from Metro Vancouver linked to enterovirus D68 has spurred renewed warnings to people with underlying health conditions.

It’s believed to be the first death in Canada associated with the virus, said Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an infectious diseases specialist at the BC Centre For Disease Control.

The man was in his early twenties and had severe asthma, one of several conditions that makes people especially vulnerable, Skowronski told reporters during a conference call on Friday.

Most of those infected with enterovirus D68 have what appear to be symptoms of a common cold: sneezing, runny nose, a cough, and some have no symptoms at all, she said.

But only the most severe cases are diagnosed because those people are usually in hospital, Skowronski said. “This most recent and tragic event in this young man with a history of asthma serves as a reminder that peo-

ple of any age with underlying conditions, especially heart and lung and notably asthma, do sometimes experience more severe complications when infected with respiratory viruses,� she said.

Skowronski released few details about the young man.

She said health officials have spoken with his family and they agreed to share some details, such as his severe asthma, in the hope that those with similar conditions get help quickly. “But either way this is a tragic loss for the family and our heartfelt condolences go out them,� she said.

Because enterovirus D68 isn’t reportable in Canada and doctors aren’t always looking for such infections, Skowronski could only say health officials believe this is the first death associated with EV-D68. “So it is possible that enterovirus D68 has contributed, or been associated with deaths previously, but those were not recognized,� she added.

A small number of patients infected in Canada and U.S. this season have developed polio-like symptoms. This is

unusual, Skowronski said.

Children seem especially vulnerable to the virus and many who are very ill are on ventilators to help them breath.

There are an estimated 200 and 300 cases in Canada. Of the 36 diagnosed in B.C., Skowronski said they range in age from less than one year to older than 80. “A very interesting pattern that has persisted is that two-thirds of the confirmed cases so far are male. So boys and men are disproportionately represented in our confirmed cases.�

But Skowronski said the message needs to get out to those of any age and gender that if they have other health vulnerabilities, they need to be cautious. “In the event that you develop diffi-

culty breathing or shortness of breath, and because we also know that enterovirus D68 may be associated with neurological findings that we’re still trying to learn about and investigate, if there is sudden onset of muscle weakness or paralysis as well, these people should not delay getting immediate medical care.�

There is no specific vaccine or treatment for the infection, so prevention measures are the standard warnings for preventing any cold of flu, including washing hands thoroughly and sneezing or coughing into your elbow.

The U.S. Center for Disease Control has recorded seven deaths connected to EV-D68 this year.

By Friday, the U.S. centre had confirmed 825 people in 46 states had the illness.

A window into Malarchuk’s demons

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS The scar on the right side of Clint Malarchuk’s neck is still visible. It’s there for everyone to see on the cover of his new book.

Hockey fans will always remember Malarchuk as the NHL goaltender who nearly died in 1989 after a skate blade sliced his jugular vein. He knows that.

“It’s my claim to fame,” Malarchuk said. “There’s a lot of goalies in my kind of category that weren’t the elite, but I’m remembered, even if it’s for the infamous accident.”

But in The Crazy Game: How I Survived the Crease and Beyond, Malarchuk opens up about the post-traumatic stress disorder that infamous accident caused, his obsessive compulsive disorder, alcoholism and anxiety and a couple of other near-death experiences that he was fortunate to survive. He details battles in his head that made the chaos of hockey feel like a sanctuary.

The opening chapter of The Crazy Game, which was released Tuesday, ends with Malarchuk putting a gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger. Miraculously, he survived.

“When I woke up in intensive care with a bullet in my head, I felt like I was saved or there was a purpose for me,” Malarchuk said. “Maybe it’ll help people and maybe somebody won’t feel like they’re the only one going through a dark time or depression, anxiety, whatever it might be.”

Leading up to that point, though, was the toughest part for Malarchuk to re-live as he told his story with the help of Dan Robson, a senior writer at Sportsnet Magazine.

“Going through that time I did feel like I was out of control and crazy,” Malarchuk said. “I felt like my brain was on fire and I just couldn’t put it out.”

Through the early portions of the book, Malarchuk opens a window into his childhood in Edmonton and Grande Prairie, with an alcoholic father, a mother who was one of his best teammates in life and a brother who taught him a lot — and broke his nose a few times. Fights, arrests and a hospitalization at 12 for anxiety start to paint the picture of the “demons” Malarchuk has dealt with from an early age.

Chapters about junior and minor hockey and his start in the NHL with the Nordiques include more about his OCD. Malarchuk would run up to 20 miles a day and kept up his workout routine because he felt it was the only way to be the best.

“I think my superior conditioning made up for the fact that other goalies had more skill,” he wrote.

“I basically willed myself into becoming an NHL goalie.”

Along with alcohol and anxiety, it caused personal problems along the way, including marriages

BRIEF

File photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Buffalo Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk clutches his throat after suffering a lacerated neck on March 22, 1989, in Buffalo, N.Y. Hockey fans will always remember Malarchuk as the NHL goaltender who nearly died in 1989 after a skate blade sliced his jugular vein. that did not last. Then came that infamous incident on March 22, 1989.

Malarchuk describes in graphic detail getting sliced in the throat by St. Louis Blues rookie Steve Tuttle and the fear he had in his own head in the seconds and minutes afterward.

“I’m going to die,” he thought.

He survived and was back in the Buffalo Sabres net 10 days later.

To this day, he is still recgonized because of that near-death experience. It doesn’t bother him because he’s proud of the perseverance and courage it took to get back on the ice so soon afterwards.

“I accept my career for what it was,” he said. “It wasn’t the greatest, I wasn’t Martin Brodeur. But I had a decent career. But a lot of players had lesser careers and a lot have had better. It happened for a reason.”

He cheated death twice more — once when he col-

lapsed after drinking and swallowing pills and then later when he shot himself.

The book tells the bigger story of a goaltender who played 338 career games for the Nordiques, Sabres and Washington Capitals.

There are plenty of hockey anecdotes, like riding horses on a California golf course with Dale Hunter and getting in trouble with the Capitals for taking part in a rodeo exhibition at the Calgary Stampede.

But even after writing the book about his mental struggles, the 53-year-old doesn’t think there are things he could have done differently.

“I was in such a dark place I didn’t know what I was thinking, how I was thinking,” Malarchuk said. “I felt like I was crazy. That helpless and hopelessness is not a good place. For me I’m grateful that I’ve been able to, I don’t want to say conquer this because I still struggle at times, but manage it.”

She came to SNL in January, along with fellow writer LaKendra Tookes as well as Sasheer Zamata, who was signed to join the cast at that time.

Those hirings came after SNL had been criticized for a lack of diversity, particularly the absence of any black women among the regular or featured players.

JUDSON Edna 1930 - 2014 Mrs. Edna Sophia Judson (nee Edl) passed away after a brief stay at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, battling with cancer on the morning of Friday, October 17, 2014 at the age of 84 years. Edna was born on April 2, 1930 at Eckville, Alberta to parents, Joseph and Avelyn Edl. She grew up in the Evergreen District, the eldest of three children. This was where she met her husband of sixtytwo years, Derrick Judson. The couple went on to live a happy, busy life, raising three children; Myles, Neil and Tina. Edna loved arts and crafts.

She was always creating ceramics, wooden carvings, porcelain and china dolls, knitting and crocheting until her arthritis hindered her too much. As Edna’s family grew, she enjoyed watching all of the children’s, grandchildren’s and great grandchildren’s activities. These activities were wide ranging; from horseback riding and hockey, to music recitals.

Over the years, she became an avid sports fan. Many a time, she was caught watching football on the television.

Edna also loved to visit and play cards with her large extended family and friends. Edna spent many years working in the local stores where she became known to many people in the community and kept those ties throughout her life.

Edna will be lovingly remembered by her three children and their families; Myles Judson and his daughters, Brandi (Patrick) Enger, Lindsey and Dalyce; Neil (Lorrie) Judson and their sons, Kory and Shawn (Lana); and Tina (Wes) Thiel and their children, Matthew, Marc and Nicolette; as well as her great grandchildren, Emersen Judson, Brody and Sydnee Judson and Kaden and Karsen Judson. She will also be sadly missed by her brother, Ed Edl and numerous other family and many dear friends. Edna was predeceased by her loving husband, Derrick on February 11, 2013, her parents, a sister, Rose and a brother, Albert. A Celebration of Edna’s Life will be held at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta on Friday, October 24, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. If desired, Memorial Donations in Edna’s honor may be made directly to the Eckville Manor House, P.O. Box 510, Eckville, Alberta, T0M 0X0. Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.parklandfuneralhome.com.

Arrangements in care of Gary W. Anderson, Funeral Director at PARKLAND FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM, 6287 - 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.

They were married on October 6, 1945 in Leicester, England.

A special thank you to Dr. Hoftner, Dr. Metcalfe and to the staff on Unit 33 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital.

LEWIS Evelyn Irene 1927 - 2014 It is with great sadness that the family of Evelyn Lewis announce her passing on October 12, 2014 at the Innisfail hospital. Born in Edmonton, Evelyn was the first-born child, and only daughter of Richard (“Van”) and Hazel Vanderberg. Soon after, Evelyn moved with her parents to southern Alberta, where they lived in Farrow and Claresholm until 1934, when ‘Van’ decided to start his own business. Evelyn, along with her parents and two younger brothers, moved west of Innisfail, where ‘Van’ built a general store. They were the first residents of what later became known as the hamlet of Spruce View.

Hazel and Van’s last child Evelyn’s baby brother - was born the following year.

Along with many friends and neighbours Evelyn attended the old Spruce View School; and then took her high school years in Dickson, where she graduated. Evelyn was married to Jim Lewis for fifteen years, living mainly in Devon and Spruce View. To this union, was born one daughter, Jody. At this point, Evelyn became a very hard-working, single mother.

She was always a very caring and loving person, living a very simple lifestyle.

In addition to her love of flowers and nature, Evelyn was an amazingly gifted lady, very busy with her painting, pottery, writing, sewing, intricate needlework, and various other crafts. Many people are fortunate to still have some of her work in their homes today.

Evelyn was predeceased by her parents, Richard and Hazel; one brother, Leslie; and one great-grandson, Ben Chandler. She is survived by one daughter, Jody (Jeff White); four grandsons Stacy (Colynn), Troy (Mary), James (Paula), and Trevor (Jen); six great grandchildren - Zach (Jess), Spencer, Jordyn, Kailynn, Payton and Emily; two brothers and their families - Allan (Pat) and Ken (Dianne); and our Lewis family. And last, but certainly not least, very special friends Eva and Alfred Ferdinand, and their children, Jennifer, Thomas, and Christopher, whom Evelyn added to her list of grandchildren. A ‘Celebration of Life’ will be held for Evelyn on Saturday, October 25, 2014 at the Spruce View Community Hall at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made to S.T.A.R.S. Air Ambulance, 1441 Aviation Park, NE Calgary, Alberta, T2E 8M7.

MIREAU Clement Ovide (Clem) Oct. 1925 - Oct. 2014 It is with our deepest sorrow that we announce the passing of Clem Mireau on Thursday, the 16th of October, 2014, at the Red Deer Regional Hospital at the age of 89 years. Clem was born in Bonnyville, Alberta, the 3rd eldest of a family of 11 and spent his childhood years in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

He was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion, serving first in the Royal Canadian Army during 1944 and then the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1945 to 1956, when he received an Honourable Discharge. He then became a school teacher and principal and taught for many years within the borders of Saskatchewan and Alberta, finishing his career at Delburne School.

Clem was an accomplished violinist, and he shared his love of music with many persons by performing and giving violin lessons. He was the inspiration for many of his students to follow a career in music. He also enjoyed making and repairing violins and could be counted on to support anyone who showed an interest in his beloved instrument. Clem will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 56 years, Pauline; his granddaughter, Heidi; and his grandson, Jason; as well his siblings, Clemence Rose (Midge) Patterson, Rolland Mireau, Blanche Tuchelt, Gregoire Mireau, Alice Walton, and Maurice Mireau, as well as their spouses; and sisterin-law, Ellen Richards (Rob); and dear friends Michel Lapointe and Wendy Reis.

He will be lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who shared in his life and enjoyed his good nature and sense of humour. He was predeceased by his parents, Alonzo and Alexandrine Mireau; and his daughters, Clemene and Ruth; as well as siblings: Donat (Don) Mireau, Aime (Tony) Mireau, Delia (Vi) Hammond and Therese (Lucille) Larson. A graveside service will be held at the Alto Reste Cemetery (3.6 km east of 30th Avenue on Highway 11) on Friday, October 24, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., followed by a memorial service at the Royal Canadian Legion (2810 Bremner Avenue, Red Deer) at 11:00 a.m.

Services will be presided over by Pastor Ian Hartley.

Memorials in Clem’s honour may be made directly to the charity of the donor’s choice.

American given surprise release from NKorea WASHINGTON — North Korea’s reclusive government abruptly freed an American man Tuesday, nearly six months after he was arrested on charges of leaving a Bible in a nightclub, but Pyongyang refused to hand over two other U.S. citizens who are still being held.

There was no immediate explanation for the release of Jeffrey Fowle, who was quickly whisked to the U.S. territory of Guam before heading back to his wife and three children in Miamisburg, Ohio. Relations between Washington and Pyongyang, never warm, are at a particularly low point, and the U.S. has sought unsuccessfully for months to send a highlevel representative to North Korea to negotiate acquittals for all three men.

Fowle’s wife, Tatyana, “screamed when I told her,” said family attorney Timothy Tepe, who received a call from the State Department with word of the release. Tepe said Fowle himself called his wife soon afterward.

“She is ecstatic, excited, use whatever word you want,” Tepe said.

State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said Fowle was seen by doctors and appeared to be in good medical health. She declined to give more details about his release except to thank the government of Sweden, which has an embassy in Pyongyang, for its “tireless efforts.”

Harf would not say whether any American officials had intervened directly with the North Koreans.

“We’ll let the North Koreans speak for themselves about why did they decide to do this,” Harf said.

“But we are pleased that he was able to leave, and urge the immediate release of the other two.”

Fowle was flown out of North Korea on a U.S. military jet which was spotted at Pyongyang’s international airport Tuesday by two Associated Press journalists.

There was no immediate comment from the government of North Korean leader Kim Jung Un. The United States has no diplomatic relations with North Korea and strongly warns American citizens against travelling to the country.

Fowle, 56, arrived there on April 29 and was arrested in May for leaving a Bible at the nightclub.

Christian evangelism is considered a crime in North Korea.

He was awaiting trial — the only one of the three Americans held by Pyongyang who had not been convicted of charges.

The two others — Kenneth Bae and Matthew Mill-

Iran president promises to support Iraq amid new wave of bombings

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TEHRAN, Iran — Shiite powerhouse Iran has pledged enduring support for the Shiite-led government of Iraq in its battle against an ascendant Sunni insurgency spearheaded by the Islamic State group.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi on Tuesday that Iran has supported Baghdad “from the first day and will remain on that path until the last day,” according to a report by the official IRNA news agency.

Later, the state news agency reported that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has final say on all state matters, told al-Abadi that he considered the security of Iraq and Iran “inseparable.”

It was Abadi’s first foreign visit since taking office in September.

“Choosing Iran as my first destination after taking office indicates the depth of ties,” he said, according to IRNA. “Terrorism is a threat to all regional countries and we are sure Iran will stand by us.”

The Iran-Iraq alliance highlights some of the complex political dynamics spawned by the emergence of the Islamic State group as a major threat earlier this year. The radical Sunni militia has captured and held large swaths of territory in eastern Syria and northwestern Iraq, including the major northern Iraqi city of Mosul, and threatens to expand southward toward Baghdad.

Now both Iran and the United States are essentially on the same side in backing Baghdad and opposing the Islamic State group — although neither country acknowledges any sort of direct co-ordination. Meanwhile Iran continues to support embattled Syrian autocrat Bashar al-Assad, who Washington opposes.

Rouhani, in his Tuesday comments, said greater regional co-operation among affected countries was the only solution to confronting the Islamic State group.

“We have no doubt that boosting friendly relations between Iran and Iraq will secure the interests of both countries and will serve the interests of the region,” he said.

“Regional countries should confront terrorism in a united and co-ordinated way in order to uproot this phenomenon.”

Inside Iraq, insurgents continued their recent wave of attacks on Tuesday as a string of bombings in and near Baghdad killed 30 people. Police officials said the deadliest attack took place Tuesday afternoon when a double car bomb attack hit Habaybina restaurant in the Shiite-majority district of Talibiya in eastern Baghdad, killing 19 people and wounding 32 others.

Earlier, a bomb struck at an outdoor market in the southern district of Abu Dashir, a mostly Shiite neighbourhood, killing four people and wounding nine, police officials said.

Later, a bomb that went off near a small restaurant in central Baghdad killed five people and wounded 12, the officials said. Another bomb exploded at a commercial street in the town of Madian, just south of Baghdad, killing two people and wounding four.

At night, two mortar shells landed inside Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone which houses the Iraqi government headquarters and the U.S. and British embassies, said two security officials.

One of the mortar shells fell about 500 metres from the U.S. embassy building. No casualties were reported.

on the North’s nuclear program, involving the U.S., North Korea, South Korea, Japan, China and Russia have been stalled since 2008. The newspaper editorial Tuesday spoke of a “hostile policy” of the U.S. and said Washington should not oppose North Korea’s nuclear deterrence.

Analysts say North Korea has previously used detained Americans as leverage in its standoff with the U.S., a contention that Pyongyang denies. Washington, too, has floated the possibility of a diplomatic opening in ties between the two countries should North Korea free the detainees.

Miller, 24, was convicted just six weeks ago of entering North Korea illegally to commit espionage and sentenced to six years of hard labour. North Korea’s Supreme Court said he tore up his tourist visa at Pyongyang’s airport upon arrival on April 10 and admitted to the “wild ambition” of experiencing prison life so that he could secretly investigate North Korea’s human rights situation.

er — were each sentenced to years in North Korean prisons after court trials that lasted no more than 90 minutes. The three Americans entered North Korea separately.

In interviews last month with the AP, all three said they believed the only solution to their situation was for a U.S. representative to come and make a direct appeal. Pyongyang had refused that as recently as last month.

The timing of the release was especially curious, given an editorial published Tuesday by North Korea’s state run-Rodong Sinmun newspaper, which described relations with the U.S. at “the lowest ebb” since a 1994 diplomatic agreement between the two nations. Tuesday marked the 20th anniversary of that protocol, which froze Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program in return for the provision of nuclear power reactors and the eventual normalization of ties with the United States. The protocol has since unraveled.

LIFESTYLE SUN SIGNS

DEWITT, N.Y. — Matt Ficarra has been paralyzed from the chest down since an accident three years ago, but that didn’t stop him from walking down the aisle at his wedding.

Ficarra was able to stand and walk during the wedding ceremony in suburban Syracuse Saturday with the help of a battery-powered robotic exoskeleton called an Ekso. He tells the Syracuse Post-Standard newspaper that he’s been driving to a rehabilitation centre in Allentown, Pennsylvania, weekly since April to practice walking with the apparatus.

Ficarra has been paralyzed since he broke his neck in a boating accident in 2011.

Is it OK to use business contacts to try to raise funds for a charity?

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Oct. 22 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DATE: Christopher Lloyd, 76; Jeff Goldblum, 62; Deepak Chopra, 68 THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Today will have you jumping off the walls! New excitement will enter your life, but be keenly cautious.

Mercury is still retrograde, so do not make any decisions right now.

All in all, everyone should be feeling great. Others will be more compassionate, and so will you. As this month unfolds, more truth will be LARISA MAIRA revealed to you by others. Today is OZOLINS a key day for just that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: If today is your birthday, this year will highlight a need to consult others before any action is taken. It will be an exciting year for you. Much activity will be instigated by friends and you will join in with groups you’ve always dreamed of. Try to slow the excitement down a little and see the forest for the trees. You will be able to accomplish much, simply consult a specialist if needed.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Today is not a good day for making any decisions when it comes to others in your life.

Firstly, others will be surprised by you and will not fully know how to react to you. After that, you will just have too much energy building up to the Eclipse that it will be hard to focus on them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Today will highlight a lot of activity going on for you on the daily level. If there are any decisions that need to be made at work, try to put them off till tomorrow. There is an overwhelming sense that your emotions will override any logical and practical solution today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): There will be some surprising invites out by friends today that will leave you a bit frazzled.

This frazzled energy can happen through being over stimulated by too much activity, or simply by their shocking behaviour. Do not jump to any conclusions till you know the absolute truth.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The best advice I can give you today is to think twice before you make any final decisions with others. Your emotions will overshadow any truth that might be presented and this will not provide the best outcome for you. Do not jump to any conclusions today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Today will be the day when truth comes at you left, right, and centre. Your emotional nature will override any logical steps you will need to take at the moment and this will trickle into how you communicate. Do watch out for Freudian slips today!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There will be a strong focus on your personal worth and how that reflects the salary you make. You will want to break free from others in order to create more harmony for yourself. But, do trust that there is more truth, more to realize after today. Keep calm and focused.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today will highlight a need to consult others if you are confused. There is much excitement to the day, and this alone can create some issues for you.

Slow down the pace of activity when necessary. Much can be accomplished when you are in the right frame of mind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today’s focus will be on your subconscious mind. There is a strong focus on allowing others into your internal thoughts now. A lot of action will be placed towards building your income out of the public’s eye.

Not a good day to make any final decisions, wait!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Yes, there is a strong focus on your dreams and aspirations today. Don’t act impulsively and forget others in your life. The friends you have right now are the ones who will cheer you on through all your achievements. Allow for all to come to you when deserved, relax.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today will highlight a strong focus on your career and achievements. Now, Mercury is still retrograde and there is an Eclipse coming up tomorrow.

Be sure to focus on clearly producing what is needed at the moment and to keep up the amazing work you do!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Yes, this week has instigated a little change in your direction and perhaps even your perspective. My advice would be to wait till Mercury goes forward on the 25th and after the Eclipse tomorrow before you do anything that will rock the boat. Have patience now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is not a good day to make any decisions when it comes to those significant relationships in your life, and with your business as well. You will think you know, but believe me, just wait till after Mercury goes forward at the end of this week. Patience is a virtue.
